APPEALING A SCORE

 

Community competition appeals submitted via Competition Corner. Elite competition appeal forms available from athlete control.

 

Both the Community competition, and the Elite Competition will utilise the same appeals process as laid out in Section 4.10 of the 2023 CrossFit Games Rulebook as seen below:

 

4.10 - SEMIFINALS - INDIVIDUALS & TEAMS - APPEALS 

 

Athletes or team captains should file onsite appeals, test protests, or scoring questions with the Head Judge or Athlete Control lead immediately following the event or at the earliest possible opportunity. Coaches are welcome to be involved with the appeals process but only after the completion of the event and in conjunction with the athlete. 

 

Judgment calls made during an event are final and not negotiable or subject to change, modification, or appeal. In addition, athletes may not protest discrepancies related to the judging, scoring, or performance of another athlete or team. 

 

An athlete or team CANNOT appeal live judgment calls and no reps by the judge. Common examples include, but are not limited to: 

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

  • Depth of a squat 

  • Extension of hips, knees, or arms 

  • Stabilization of a lift or equipment overhead 

 

Examples of events or actions an athlete or team CAN appeal include: 

• Scorecard or leaderboard data inconsistencies or errors 

• Counting inconsistencies or errors (i.e., the total number of repetitions completed was incorrect) 

• Loading inconsistencies or errors 

• Course markings or directional inconsistencies or errors 

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

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

• Action of another athlete or person that impeded the athlete’s progress 

 

Two appeal rule: 

Athletes/teams will start the competition with two appeals. 

Following each test, athletes/teams have the option to appeal (see eligible list above). 

If after investigation the appeal is granted, the athlete/team will retain their appeal count. 

If after investigation the appeal is denied, the athlete/team will lose one appeal from their appeal count. 

If an athlete/team exhausts their appeal count, they will not be allowed to make any other appeals over the remainder of the competition. 

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

​

4.13 - SEMIFINALS - INDIVIDUALS & TEAMS - DRUG TESTING 

 

Drug testing is required for any individual athlete or team to advance to the Games or collect prizes. Failure to comply with CrossFit’s instructions and the instructions of the collection agent(s) through the entire drug testing process may result in the athlete, the team, or members of the team forfeiting a prize and being disqualified from the competition and future competition(s). 

 

Athletes selected for drug testing will be notified by CrossFit or event staff and escorted to the drug testing area for the administration of the drug test.

 

MANAGING YOUR TEAM

 

For the community competition:

In the event of injury or some other circumstance beyond your control, teams may substitute a total of one athlete on their team roster. In the event more than one athlete from the original team of 4 who qualified through the Torian Pro Online Qualifier is unable to compete, the team will be ineligible to compete at the Torian Pro. To make a substitution please email team@torianpro.com with details including full name and email address.

 

For the Elite Competition:

Before the start of the Semifinals competition, any two men and two women from the team’s competition roster (designated before the Quarterfinals) will check in onsite and compete. As long as the two men and two women checking in at Semifinals are part of the team’s competition roster, they may be different from the two men and women who completed the Quarterfinals. Once the two men and two women have checked in onsite, no other athletes will be involved in any way in the onsite check-in process, nor will they be eligible to compete at Semifinals. The remaining members of the team’s competition roster may only be used should a team member be unexpectedly injured or forced to withdraw prior to check in at the Semifinal event.
