The news regarding the 2024 Quarterfinals
As usual, we still don't know everything that will happen this season, but Dave Castro held an online meeting with affiliates where he revealed some new features this year.
The main one is related to the number of tests; this year we will have four allenamenti for classification in the 2024 Semifinals. It is important to underline that Castro spoke about training and not about four tests, therefore it could happen that we have a double test with one or two scores!
Therefore, unlike the Open where there was plenty of time to post the results of each test, in the Quarterfinals there will only be two posting windows:
- wod 1 and 2 are scheduled from Wednesday 17 April to Saturday 20 April,
- while wod 3 and 4 from Saturday 20 April to Monday 22 April.
Another different aspect this year concerns the planning of equipment and layout of the training box. Previously, the map and list were released days before the trials were announced. But this year this will happen simultaneously with the announcement!
This could be a problem for those who need to borrow equipment.
Finally, the quarterfinal workouts will be accompanied by affiliate class-specific guides to assist gym owners and coaches in incorporating these workouts into their regular class programming. In doing so, CrossFit® works hard to ensure that quarterfinal workouts are accessible and achievable for the majority of affiliates.
