ONSITE MEDICAL TEAM

 

Our medical team is led by two doctors - a Specialist Critical Care Physician and a Sports Doctor – who will be on site during all 3 days of the Torian Pro. We will also have on site 2 paramedic teams from Queensland Ambulance Service (including critical care and advanced care paramedics).

We have undertaken thorough event planning to ensure that our emergency response teams are well prepared and will be located in close proximity of all events.

Accessing Medical Assistance
 

Medical assistance is available during the event in a number of ways:

• Medical response teams will be located adjacent to the competition floor during workout events.

• In the case of a medical emergency occurring around you, ask any crew member to radio for urgent assistance from our medical team.

• For non-urgent medical assistance you can attend the medical room located close to the main entrance.

• On-site physio services can request medical treatment if required.
   

If you require medical attention during the event, and you are treated by our medical team, our doctors will make a recommendation to the Event Director about whether it is safe for you to continue in the competition.

If you sustain a head injury/knock while competing, then you will be assessed by our on-site Sports Doctor and a medical recommendation will be made to the Event Director about whether it is safe for you to continue to compete.

Pre-competition Medical Screening
 

All athletes must have returned the competition waiver via Competition Corner prior to competing at the Torian Pro. This includes acknowledging that you can compete in the event safely.  

As you will be aware, this year, CrossFit Games has introduced a mandatory screening assessment for those who wish to participate in the 2026 CrossFit Games. The information regarding this assessment, and how to submit it, is included below for easy reference.

It is our strong recommendation that all athletes participating at Torian Pro, consider completing this evaluation with their own doctor, whether or not they anticipate qualifying. The introduction of this medical screening is a clear indication of a commitment to athlete safety from the CrossFit Games team, which we fully support. 

Most importantly, if you experience any symptoms, especially light-headedness, fainting, palpitations, chest pain, headaches, visual disturbances, these should be reported to your doctor and investigated prior to competing.

 

Pre-participation Evaluation Requirement Reminder for Individual and Team Athletes
 

Information regarding the new medical eligibility requirement (including the required forms, how to submit completed forms, and an FAQ) was sent to athletes finishing on top of the 26.1 leaderboard on 3/9/26 from crossfit@alerts.crossfit.com with the subject line “2026 CrossFit Games - NEW Medical Screening Requirement”. 

If a copy of this information is needed, or if there are any questions, athletes may contact medical@crossfit.com. A physician on the Games Medical Team and/or Wendy Guthrie, CrossFit’s Head of Safety, will respond in a timely manner.

The Medical Eligibility Form and Medical Consent Form may be submitted beginning Sunday, February 1, and must be submitted no later than Friday, June 12, for all Individual and Team athletes (including backfills and team alternates) who qualify for (or anticipate qualifying for), and plan to compete in, the CrossFit Games Finals.

Athletes are strongly encouraged to schedule a pre-participation evaluation with their physician and submit their completed forms as early as possible.

Viral Illnesses

If you have a viral illness, or are still recovering from a recent viral illness this can put you more at risk of heat stress, dehydration, heart conditions including cardiac arrhythmias, difficulty breathing, collapse, blood clots or kidney failure. If you are concerned about whether it’s medically safe for you to compete we strongly encourage you to see your doctor for a thorough examination and individual advice.

Nutrition & Hydration

During the Torian Pro you will be completing multiple workouts each day over multiple days. This places huge demands on your body which may be beyond your normal training load. It’s critical for your own health and safety that you stay on top of your hydration and nutrition throughout the competition.

Many athletes are confident in managing these aspects of their performance, but we have in previous years seen some athletes experience adverse effects of inadequate nutrition or hydration.

The Australian Institute of Sport has published helpful information regarding nutrition – we recommend the “Training & Competition Nutrition” and “Hydration” modules.

You may also choose to see a sports dietician for a more individualised plan.

Heat Related Illness

Brisbane weather in late May is considered temperate but there is still a risk of heat related illness during strenuous physical activity. This can be more of a risk for those not acclimatised to Queensland weather.

We recommend you take precautions to minimise the risk of heat related illness:  

• Maintain optimal hydration.

• Wear light breathable clothing or minimise clothing.

• Take regular rest breaks in a cool environment.

• Cool yourself prior to exercise or after exercise: drink cold drinks or ice; submerge your arms/feet in cold water; douse your skin with cool water; place ice packs or cold, wet towels around your neck or under your underarms and use portable fans.

• Ice baths will be available on site for treatment of heat related illness.

 

As part of our commitment to athlete safety at Torian Pro we will be regularly monitoring the Sport Heat Score via the Sports Medicine Australia (SMA) Extreme Heat Policy monitoring tool. You can also check this tool for further information and recommendations.

​

MARSHALLING

Athletes must report to the marshalling area 10 minutes prior to their heat.
Late arrival = score of zero.

​

ATTIRE & EQUIPMENT

Athletes must comply with CrossFit Games standards outlined here.
Violations may result in penalties or disqualification.

 

ATHLETE CONDUCT

The TYR Torian Pro has zero tolerance for abusive, aggressive or disrespectful behaviour.
Offenders may be removed from competition and premises at the discretion of Event Organisers.
 

APPEALS

Athletes or team captains should file on-site appeals, event protests, or scoring questions with the Appeals Manager immediately following the event, or at the earliest possible opportunity. Coaches are welcome to be involved in the appeals process, but only after the completion of the event and in conjunction with the athlete.

Athletes are welcome to bring all concerns to the Appeals Manager, who will help determine whether a situation is eligible for appeal. Judgment calls made during an event are likely final and are generally not negotiable or subject to change, modification, or appeal.
 

WHAT CAN BE APPEALED IN LIVE COMPETITION

The first thing to note is that on-field judgment calls are final. A simple no-rep that the athlete disagrees with is not grounds for an appeal. The list of appealable scenarios include:
 

• Scorecard or leaderboard inconsistencies or errors.

  • Example: The athlete’s score on the leaderboard does not accurately reflect their performance on the field.

• Counting inconsistencies or errors.

  • Example: The athlete was asked to complete more than the required total number of repetitions. 

• Load/weight inconsistencies or errors. 

  • Example: The equipment was loaded incorrectly or the weight of a maximum effort was recorded incorrectly.

• Course markings or directional inconsistencies or errors.

  • Example: The athlete was given faulty directions on a course. 

• Equipment or monitor failure that was not the responsibility of the athlete.

• Miscommunication by a judge regarding movement standards or event order or direction. 

  • Example: The athlete was held to a different standard or asked to complete movements in a different order than what was discussed during the athlete briefing.

• The action of another athlete or person impeded the athlete’s progress.

  • Example: Event staff closed a gate on a course to allow spectator-crossing at a time when an athlete required passage on the course.
     

Here is a list of non-appealable situations:
 

• Most range-of-motion (end ranges of a rep) faults, such as:

• Squat depth.

• Extension of hips, knees, or arms.

• Stabilisation of a lift or equipment overhead.

TWO-APPEAL RULE
 

• Athletes and teams will begin the competition with two appeals.

• Following each event, athletes and teams may choose to submit an appeal, provided it falls within the eligible categories listed above.

• If, after investigation, the appeal is granted, the athlete or team retains their appeal count.

• If, after investigation, the appeal is denied, the athlete or team loses one appeal from their appeal count.

• If an athlete or team exhausts their appeal count, they may not submit any further appeals for the remainder of the competition.

• Missing mandatory competition responsibilities, such as athlete registration or event briefings, may result in the loss of an appeal at the Head Judge’s discretion.

APPEALS PROCESS

For all on-site appeals, event protests, recount initiation, or scoring questions, the following process will be used:
 

• The competing athlete or team captain will state the case and request an Appeals Form from the Appeals Manager.

• For appeals, the athlete or team captain will complete the Appeals Form.

• As soon as possible, and prior to the end of the competition day (defined as one hour after the final heat of competition concludes), the athlete or team captain will return the Appeals Form to the Appeals Manager.

• The Head Judge, involved judge(s), Appeals Manager, and/or the on-site Competition Director will review the submitted Appeals Form and complete the fact-finding process, which may include video review using the dedicated review system.

• Once a decision has been reached, the athlete or team will be contacted with the result.

• Appeals will remain pending until the athlete or team has been formally notified of the resolution.

MEDIA AND FINAL AUTHORITY

Video, photographs, cell-phone media, or any other outside media will not constitute grounds for changing or modifying a decision, score, or entry made by an event judge.

No media of any kind is permitted during the appeals process.

Nothing in these procedures concerning event appeals, scoring discrepancies, movement standards, or range-of-motion requirements shall be interpreted as limiting CrossFit’s right to run or operate any CrossFit-supported or sponsored event as it sees fit, in its sole and absolute discretion.

The decisions of the Head Judge and CrossFit are final. This includes the right to remove or disqualify any athlete or team at CrossFit’s sole and absolute discretion.
