Time to submit your score

How much time do I have to do each Open is an often repeated question.

Scores must be uploaded to the games.crossfit.com web site on Monday at 6:00 p.m. PT. I recommend googling "6:00 pm PT in your city" to avoid calculation errors. In Spain it corresponds to 2:00 am Tuesday.

Any score outside these hours will not be accepted.

What's new for Open 2021

This year's Open will be the most accessible in CrossFit history with options for participants to compete in the box or at home, with or without equipment. All prepared in case the gyms close or for those who prefer to train at home.
