Viewing of the CrossFit Games

Please comment if you are interested in attending!!!

This weekend the Crossfit Games will be at the Home Depot Center in California.

This year CrossFit is going to have a live feed of the CrossFit Games.

We plan on opening the gym up to view the CrossFit Games here at the gym.  We will project the Games up on the wall here at the gym.  We will have Grills available and ask anyone that comes to bring something to eat and something to share.  This will be a Bring Your Own event.  We will try and have some supplies here also, but the more everyone brings the better.  We will open up around 10:00 AM on Saturday and remain open all day, as long as there are people interested in watching the Games.  On Friday we will begin the showing of the Games at 6PM.  At this point we are not planning on opening up for Sunday, but if there is enough interest, we may kick the doors open on Sunday too.

If possible, lets keep this event Paleo or something that meets the diet that you are currently following for the Summer MeltDown Challenge.  There are many recepies on the forum or online.  Including Paleo Margaritas, deserts and meals.

Here is the tentative schedule for the CrossFitGames:

If you can’t be there in person, all is not lost: the Games will be streamed to the web in real time via our free live webcast.

This production will be unlike anything CrossFit fans have seen before. You’ll get over 30 hours of live HD coverage and analysis (in SD if you don’t have sufficient bandwidth to stream full HD). Three JumboTrons and a dozen 55″ plasmas will broadcast the feed throughout the Home Depot Center to optimize spectator experience. Thirteen different cameras will bring you live action from every single heat of every single event, putting you right on the arena floor with the athletes. Slow-motion instant replays and highlight reels will showcase our sport as the footage is broadcast to fans all over the world.

You will be there when Event Director Dave Castro reveals the events one hour before they occur. We’ll also take you behind the scenes into the athlete staging and warmup areas. You’ll see candid interviews with the athletes, teams, coaches and special guests, plus regular debates and discussions at our Analyst Desk hosted by Pat Sherwood, Josh Everett and Caity Matter Henniger.

CrossFit is working with NEP Screenworks and Level3 to bring you the highest quality production possible. We now have a world-class team experienced in covering international sporting events and bringing them to the web. NEP has a mountain of broadcast experience, and CrossFit will be utilizing a full production truck that’s part of the fleet that delivers X-Games, NFL and Major League Baseball broadcasts. Level3 brought the Superbowl and Olympics to the web. The sweat, emotion and drama of the CrossFit Games have never been seen like this before.

Join us for a 30min live Preview Show at 6pm PDT on Thursday, July 15. Full coverage will commence on Friday, July 16 around 8:45am. We’re just putting the finishing touches on the new player. In a couple days, we’ll give you the links to the player and the updated viewing schedule. It’s going to be epic!
