Get With The Programming

The 2024 CrossFit Quarterfinals Individual Events are here! We sit down and break down all the events and how we believe each Semifinal Region will perform on them to see try and predict what changes we may see during each submission stage of Quarterfinals.

The Open is over and now it's time for Quarterfinals but even MORE exciting for the GWTP Strength of Field System... TEAM Quarterfinals are also over. Chase and Bill recap the current GWTP Strength of Field after the 2024 Open and 2024 Team Quarterfinals heading into Indi Quarterfinals. After that we take a look at the current Top 40 athletes of "Who's in? Who's out?" for each Semifinals as it stands after the 2024 CrossFit Open.

Welcome to the "Fittest Games Show on Earth" and the very FIRST of it's kind, CrossFit Jeopardy. Three contestants will be battle it out for supreme CrossFit knowledge and dominance across 5 'varied' categories. This week, John Young, Bill Grundler and Taylor Self will match wits and see who will take the title of, CrossFit Jeopardy Champion. So get your thinking caps on, turn your phones off, put your L1 manual away and get a pen and paper out, it's time to play... CrossFit Jeopardy!  

We have seen the team programming. We have shown you what the programming COULD have looked like from years past. Chase and Bill FINALLY give their predictions for the 2024 Individual CrossFit Quarterfinals.

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 would imagine. Listen and find out.

Team Quarterfinals are wrapping up and Individual Quarterfinals are just around the corner.  With 25% of the athletes from the Open advancing to this years Quarterfinals we have been told that the programming will be adjusted from years past along with there only being 4 total events. Chase and Bill take these parameters and reprogram all past Quarterfinals events to show what the programming could potentially look like for 2024.

The Team events have been released! Chase reviews the team events of years past and how they compare to this years programming. John Young joins the show and Chase tries to walk him back from the ledge about this initial reaction to the programming.

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 is the lowest number of qualifying spots for the most competitive regions in the history of the sport. Which means, your programming but truly find the fittest field of athletes to advance to Semifinals. That means testing strength, high skilled gymnastics, long aerobic endurance, work capacity and everything in between to filter the field. Which brings us to reason number two, you have more than doubled the number of athletes in this years quarterfinals and have water down the field more than it's ever been. So how do you do both? We give you the answer.

Let's play, "King for a Day", one of our favorite games. Chase and Bill sit back and REVAMP the 2024 CrossFit Open Announcements: Who should have announced them, where they should have been and HOW it could have all been so much more fun if they did it this way... There, fixed it.
