The 2019 CrossFit Open and Games Qualification

Over the last three months, there has been a lot of speculation over the 2019 CrossFit Games season. The format for this year's has has been completely revamped from any CrossFit Games before. For starters, Regionals have been cut, 15 Sanctional events have been added, the Games have and are being reformatted, and the Open has gotten a restructuring.

Compared to previous years where the Open was used to qualify athletes for Regionals, this year the Open can directly qualify athletes for the Games. The top 20 worldwide finishers will receive invites to the Games, along with the national champions who top their country's leaderboard. Every country with a registered Affiliate that is in good standing with CrossFit HQ will have the opportunity to qualify their top individual male and female competitors for the Games.
