AMRAP Open Draft

THANK YOU to everyone that has signed up for the AMRAP Open this year. We are excited to introduce athlete captains this year as well as some other changes to enhance this year’s Open experience.

The Team Captain, Coaches, & Team Draft
This year we will have 5 team captains: Julie P., Lisa C., Jess F., Matt S., and Lani B. Each captain will draft a coach to work alongside with throughout the Open as well as their team. The coach will assist with helping team members with movements, gaming WODs, and proper prep and recovery. Our captains will be assisting with team building, getting amped up for WODs, and supporting your teammates in addition to the initial draft.

The Draft Process
Coaches will be drafted first according to a ranking system. The teams will then be drafted in a snake order. For example, the last person to choose their coach will get first choice of a male athlete. All the male athletes will be chosen first until none are left and then captains will draft the female athletes.

The draft will take place online via our Google Sheets. All of the registered athletes will be chosen according to the draft schedule and then listed online. We are hoping to have teams drawn by this Sunday. (Sorry, I know I said Friday on my video. My bad.)

Scoring
This year we want all of the team’s scores to help their team’s final placing. As a result, eight (8) of your teammates’ scores will be taken into account this year – NOT just the top three male/female scores as in year’s past. As a result, #scaledscoresmatter. Also, just as a reminder, your scores can only HELP your team.
