DIVISION STANDARDS
To ensure you are placing yourself in the right category that is challenging but still fun, these guides are to help you decide what category you should be in.
Elite Individuals & Teams
The Elite divisions for Individuals and Teams are programmed for competitive athletes who generally finish in the top 500 in the OPEN within their region.
Proficient at all CrossFit style movements including Muscle Ups, GHD Sit Ups, Pistol Squats, Handstand Push Ups, Handstand Walking etc.
Females
Female weights will be 50kg+ overhead, and over 80kg deadlifts for reps.
Males
Male weights will be 70kg+ overhead, and over 110kg deadlifts for reps.
Intermediate Teams
Gymnastics Movements you won’t see in the intermediate category: Ring & Bar Muscle-ups, Chest-to-Bar Pull-ups, Handstand Push-ups, Handstand Walking
Gymnastics Movements you may see in the intermediate category: Pull-ups, Toes-to-Bar, Wall Walks, Rope Climbs
If you finished in the top 500 in the Open, you probably shouldn’t be on an intermediate team unless your other team members are at a lower fitness level than yourself. If two or three team members can do the gymnastics movements you won’t see, you most likely shouldn’t be in the Intermediate category.

Athletes competing in multiple divisions
Athletes are allowed to compete in multiple divisions, and where the workouts are the same can submit one result.
However, to compete in more than one division, athletes must register for each independently in the online qualifiers.
Once the online qualifiers have closed and the final leaderboard is confirmed, athletes must choose their division to compete in the final.
