The North Central Regional Games are fast approaching, and we have been hard at work getting everything ready. The Judges have already had six training sessions, with one more two hour session to go. The parallettes are built. The boxes are built. The pullup/MU structure has been built and was used at the Mountain States Sectionals. The workouts have been designed, submitted and approved by CrossFit HQ. Here are the details of the event.
Volunteers
We are still in need of volunteers, most notably on Thursday and Friday. We are in need of people that can be at Front Range CrossFit at 9:00 AM on Thursday morning to help load the trucks up with the gear and then travel down to the Douglas County Event Center, unload and then set it all up. We are a bit thin on Friday as well. Any help would be greatly appreciated. If you are interested involunteering, please register by Saturday, April 24th.
Judges
We are all set for Judges. We started Judges training back on March 6th, with the first of seven judging training sessions. Each judge had to commit to come to at least three of the 2 hour training sessions. Many of them have been to every one of them.
Affiliate Team Competition
As of 4/20/10, we have 30 Affiliate Teams signed up, but we only have 119 of the athletes that make up those teams registered. That number should be 180 athletes. The athlete registration for the Affiliate Team Competition closes at noon on Saturday, April 24th. That is in 4 days. After that deadline, each team will be stuck using the athletes that have registered to that point. That means that if a team cannot field a team of at least 2 men and 2 women, they will be disqualified.
If you originally registered your Affiliate Team, you received a confirmation email with a link to send to your Affiliate Team Members. You need to get that link to your team and get them to register ASAP. You are running out of time.
Individual Athletes
We currently have 108 qualified athletes that have signed up. The registration closes for the individuals at noon on Saturday, April 24th. If you have received notification that you are a qualified athlete, please register by that time.
Individual competitors will be ranked according to their performances at the Sectional Games. So the top five qualifiers from last year’s Regional Games will be ranked 1-5 and then the top finisher from each Sectional will be ranked 6-7, the second place finisher from each Sectional will be ranked 8-9 etc. We will be doing the different events in heats of 12 athletes, with the highest ranked athletes in the latest heats.
Spectators
There is a $50 charge for spectators, but you get 2 entry wristbands for that price. When you register as a spectator, you will be able to get someone else in with you. That second individual will need to be with you when you check in at the registration booth at the entrance to the Event Center the weekend of the Regional Games. There is no on-line registration for the second person.
Spectator online registration will close on Tuesday, April 27th at 9:00 PM. If you haven’t registered by then, you will be able to purchase spectator wristbands at the door. They will be the same price and they will need to be paid for with cash. There will be no credit card transactions at the Event Center.
