Per CrossFit’s press release, “Age-group athletes will follow the traditional CrossFit Games season path, competing in the CrossFit Open and advancing to Quarterfinals and Semifinals before moving on to each division’s championship event.”
Masters CrossFit Games
The top masters from the Age-Group Semifinal will advance to the Masters CrossFit Games by Legends, held at the Birmingham Jefferson Convention Center.
Running concurrently with the Masters CrossFit Games, Legends will host a community Masters Team Competition in Birmingham. Teams will be made up of two male and two female athletes. There will be 20 teams aged 35-44, 20 aged 45-54, and 10 aged 55+. All athletes must advance through the 2024 CrossFit Open and register for the Quarterfinals to be eligible.
At the Legends’ discretion, the top 20 Quarterfinals finishers aged 70+ (10 male and 10 female) who do not advance to the 65+ Games may receive invitations to a community trial division for athletes 70 and older.
