The article in question.
First the Open is about testing your fitness against yourself, friends, community, family, or even the world. Having something that can show if you are getting fitter is very rewarding and can help keep you motivated. Remember this year there will be a SCALED and RX division. So all skill levels can do this.
As in years past Friday night will be the big night for the Open. All classes Friday will be doing the Open. After everyone is done the workout we will be hanging out at the gym playing games and maybe a few adult beverages.
Here is the idea. We will get everybody interested in doing the open and the coaches will be the captains for a team. Once we get all willing participates collected we will hold a draft. All athletes will be drafted fantasy football style.
One time Points
3 point - Profile Picture on Games Site
3 point - Team Name
Every week of the open teams are trying to accrue as many points as possible.
5 point - Best Spirit
3 point - Per Athlete that finishes in the top 3 in the gym (male and female)
3 point - Showing Up for Friday Night Lights and competing
3 point - Guessing the workout
2 point - Doing the workout at another time
1 point - Earning an official Score
1 point - "The Real MVP" chosen by the captains
The reason we like this idea is it makes the Open more about the community and it makes is much more of a fun event.
Cheers,
