San Diego and Arizona CrossFit Sectional Competition

What to expect when traveling to San Diego.

What to wear and other info...

 

Located in the heart of sunny San Diego, CrossFit SoCal  will be hosting the San Diego/Arizona Sectional on March 27 and 28, 2010.  The 5,000 square foot gym and parking lot will serve as the venue for the event allowing for both indoor and outdoor competition.  Sign up quickly as there are spaces available for one 100 men and 100 women!  San Diego and Arizona boast some of the fittest men and women on the planet.  Two of the top ten affiliate teams from last years games are from this region.  So, the competition will be fierce this year! 

March could be a mixed bag in Southern California, so wear layers.  The weather could have you in a light warm-up outfit for the early morning and no shirt and board shorts by noon.  Make sure you bring plenty of SPF and your sun glasses. We do have showers at the gym should anyone get overheated.  However, they will be for emergency use only.

We would love volunteers!  Please contact Jessica at jessica@crossfitsocal.com if you would like to sign up to help out.  We will have a volunteer meeting at 5pm on Friday, March 26.  We will need judges, set up and staging equipment, registration, crowd control and parking, score keepers and first aide. 
Remember, judges and volunteers will not have to pay an admission fee!  There are still spots available, so sign up soon!  

Please contact me at adam@crossfitsocal.com for any other questions.

Judges and Volunteer information.

After working out a few kinks, it seems that the guys at HQ have fixed the registration problem.

There are some issues with their server, so it took me about 2 hours but finally got through.  
If you try to select the SDAZ Sect., it may redirect you to the SoCal Sect., however this is wrong!  
Start over if you have to, but make sure you have signed up for the right Sectional.

This is what happens when you unleash 100s of 1,000s of CrossFitters on one site, at the same time! 
3,2,1, GO!!! 

Tony Budding said,  "Just heard from our back end folks. Demand was several times our highest expectations! We're freeing up additional resources immediately. Please be patient!

Good luck to everyone and happy holidays!

CrossFit Games website  

Registration will now launch on Wednesday, Dec 23rd, hopefully at 1300 PST.

We are working feverishly behind the scenes to get the registration site ready for you. We're close, and now testing all the various pages and options. Thanks for your patience!

At this point, we're expecting, and able to accommodate,FIVE TIMES the number of athletes that competed in the first level of qualifiers last year. This is an extraordinary accomplishment, and all the Sectional and Regional Directors deserve a ton of recognition for making it happen.

We really want to give everyone interested the opportunity to compete at a Sectional level. If the demand greatly exceeds capacity at a given Sectional, we are prepared to make changes to accommodate the additional athletes. Some Sectionals are not going to allow scaling. This could also include (depending on the situation) a change in location and/or date, switching from a two-day event to two one-day events, etc. We appreciate your flexibility, and of course if any change precluded your participation, there would be full refunds.

We will provide a lot more static information about each event shortly. This will include hotel recommendations, any special arrangements (such as it's an outdoor event, so come prepared), hours, local contact information, etc.

Costs:
Registration fees are going to support the local events, which are being financed by the local affiliates. Any additional support you can provide (volunteering, sponsorships, etc) will make a huge difference. Our unified registration site (the one that will launch on Dec 23) will allow qualifying athletes (and their profile information and performance data) to travel with them to the Regionals and Games. It will also allow us to provide real time, web-based scoring for all events around the world. But the events are all run locally.

One-Day Events
Athletes - $50US (includes one spectator)
Spectators - $25US

Two-Day Events (This will be the SDAZ event schedule)
Athletes - $100US (includes one spectator)
Spectators - $50US

We have set up temporary caps on how many can register. After that an automatic wait-list is created. We will do everything possible to accommodate the wait-lists.
