Divisions

You perform 90%+ benchmark workouts with Rx weights and movements. Muscle ups, handstand push ups, and all advanced movements are programmed in this division, someone on your team will need to be able to do them (not all team members will have to). Common WODs you should be able to do Rx are Fran, Elizabeth, Diane, Grace, Isabel, and Mary. Cash prizes, typically winner take all with the top three teams in finals and a staggered start depending on the placement going into finals. Here is a list of common weights and movements that Advanced competitors should be able to do:

40+ in the calendar year of the event. Teams are typically a combined age but all team members have to be over 35. A hybrid between the Advanced and Scaled divisions. Weights will be classic Rx (95/65# thrusters) but will not be Rx+ like many competitions have in Rx divisions. Body weight and gymnastics skills are similar to Advanced-Rx with generally less advanced versions such as pull ups instead of CTB pull ups. Finals for top teams if the volume justifies (8+ teams). More masters divisions will be released as the need presents. Event coordinators reserve the right to move masters teams to RX or Scaled if needed due to registration numbers.

You perform roughly 50% of the movements Rx but modify many classic WODs due to strength or gymnastic necessity. People in this division can generally do a kipping pull up (but maybe not strict one yet). Handstand push ups are modified in this division. Traditionally scaling involves a reduction in the weight from Rx by approximately 25% (If the Advanced division was doing 95/65# thrusters, intermediate would be doing 75/45#). Double unders are optional and sometimes allowed in combination with single unders. No cash prizes, top teams to finals. If you are an Rx athlete DO NOT join a scaled team just because they need another person, this undermines the integrity of the competition and your box. Rope climbs are typically not modified for this division.

You perform 80% of the movements scaled. Pull ups are all assisted (bands, jumping pull ups, ring rows). Weights lifted are significantly less than Rx, 65/35# Thrusters for example. Full ROM push ups may be difficult, box jumps are generally steps ups, wall ball shots are with a 10# ball to an 8′ or 9′ target. Single unders only or heavy rope singles. Toes to bar are not expected and hanging knee raises or sit ups are substituted. ROM standards are encouraged but competition is friendly, mobility restrictions are tolerated, and we are here to have fun! No finals for the novice division but this will be re-evaluated as the need presents.
