****Scoring Discloser/Disclaimer***

We will do our best to make weights and movements appropriate for each age division. If a weight or movement needs to be changed, the team score will then be put after all the teams doing the WOD as prescribed. Remember the spirit of this event…this is an event for EVERYONE. Yes, we are competing, but we are doing so in the spirit of getting everyone involved. Having said that, we will make changes to weights or movement’s as need to accommodate, but we will then adjust your WOD Score Ranking to reflect the modification.

Over the years we’ve had hundreds of gyms from Washington-state send their athletes for the annual Slaughterfest event in Salem, Oregon.  By popular demand, we will be bringing this event to the Seattle area in 2022!  😉 What do we have up our sleeve for 2022? Register to find out!!! 🙂

The SEATTLE SLAUGHTERFEST™ as it is called is now open to all level of athletes from ages 10 and up. 16 and 17 year olds may participate in the rx and/or scaled division, depending on their skill. The RX division is open to all athletes 18 and up. All athletes are encouraged to familiarize themselves with different fitness domains; more specifically to have some exposure to CrossFit-style workouts and powerlifting. The Rx division includes all powerlifting, bodyweight, and gymnastic movements. The Scaled division will include lighter weight and less advanced movements than Rx. All athletes will be required to sign a waiver.

Rx: This division includes all powerlifting, bodyweight, and gymnastic movements. You do not have to be amazing at these movements, if you can do them then you are an RX athlete and should register for this division. For example, Rx teams should have at least one person that can do muscle ups, handstand push ups, and all the other standard CrossFit movements.

Scaled: If you have stood on a podium as a scaled athlete in another NWFG competition then you should probably register for Rx now, that is a clear sign. This division is for athletes that frequently scale work outs. Do not choose scaled for the following reasons, we will call you out for this:

Its your first competition. If you go Rx in the box… do it for us also.
A couple other scaled athletes need a teammate. Don’t do it, help them find a real scaled person.
You want to be on a podium. This is a huge disservice to the real scaled athletes and makes them think they are not good enough for this division.
You can’t do a strict L-sit muscle up yet. You will see the WODs ahead of time and KNOW if you can do the movements in the competition.
Its super important to protect the integrity of the scaled division, please help us do that. You will need someone on the team that can do pull ups… they are in scaled.

Novice: This division is for athletes new to functional fitness and athletes with a long way to go in their fitness journey. You will be able to modify any movement to find something that will work. There is no finals for Novice, this is for people that want to experience the “fun” of competition but are not even at the scaled level yet. Adaptive athlete should register for this division, please contact us if you have questions.

Masters: This division is a hybrid of Rx and scaled weights and movements. You may have the choice between Rx movements or less technical movements at higher volume (For example: 3 muscle ups OR 9 CTB Pull Ups)

All athletes will be required to sign a waiver. There will be no refunds for enforcing the current covid mandates whatever they may be at the time of the event. If we have to cancel the event you will have the option to get a full refund or credit to a future event.

SuperMasters: This division utilizes scaled weights and movements, but has many of the same age requirements as the traditional masters division.  A good way to think of it is “scaled masters”  Very often we will give you the choice between higher skill movements or less technical movements at higher volume. (For example: 12 Chest to Bar Pullups OR 18 Chin-Over-Bar Pull Ups)

All athletes will be required to sign a waiver. There will be no refunds for enforcing the current covid mandates whatever they may be at the time of the event. If we have to cancel the event you will have the option to get a full refund or credit to a future event.
