Get With The Programming

You know the old saying... better EARLY than never... wait, that's not right is it? Doesn't matter! John Young and JR Howell join the show and we are ready to REVIEW and REACT to 2024 CrossFit Semifinal Events. 

Can you qualify the RIGHT 40 athletes to Semifinals in just 4 events? That was the question the CrossFit community had about the programming going into this Quarterfinals. Chase and Bill break down the programming and determine if it accomplished the goal of being accessible to the Top 25% from The Open yet filtering the fittest 40 men and women to Semifinals.

Is anyone surprised? We are not. Chase and Bill sit down to discuss all the online video drama and why this is no shock to them what so ever that this is all happening the way it is.

Small Team? No problem. We figured it out! The feedback from our GWTP Strength of Field system, though MUCH more accurate, engaging and flat out better, it would be very difficult to manager the quality of scores during The Open.  Fear not, difficulty does not dissuade us and Chase has found a solution to not only make the GWTP Strength of Field system a reality but it's even more simpler than you...

The CrossFit Games added a new "flair" to the CrossFit Open announcements this year and gave the winner of each head to head match up got a "golden" barbell from Rogue Fitness.  Chase and Bill sit back and revisit this concept and create a concept that they believe would bring even more excitement and buy in from athletes and fans alike. There, fixed it!

This year's CrossFit Quarterfinals programming will be the most important and scrutinized programming in the history of the CrossFit Games. Why, you ask? Two main reasons. First, the CrossFit Games has not only cut the number of semifinals in half for both Europe and North America from 2022 but they have now cut the numbers of qualifying spots from 60 down to 40 men and women per semifinal. That i...
