The House Cup is almost upon us!  February 22nd is the announcement of the first WOD of the 2018 CrossFit Open and the beginning of the 1st Annual WCCF House Cup.  Rally your teams!

With our 1st  House Cup, we want to hone in on fun ways for teams to score points.  Here’s all the ways you can help your team secure this year’s coveted spot on the trophy:

• Participation – (65 points available!)  

Participation is divided into 3 categories.

1. Logging in scores at Crossfit.com– teams get a % of 25 points equal to the percent of your team that logs their score in any given week.
2. FRIDAY NIGHT LIGHTS– Show up!  Each week, teams get a % of 10 points equal to the percent of your team that shows up in any given week.
3. Workout Completion– ( Athletes can complete that week’s WOD anytime between Thursday @5pm – Monday @5pm).  Teams get a % of 20 points.
4. BONUS Points: 10 points available for 100% team completion of any of the 3 above participation categories.

• *Note: The House Cup will end on the Friday of 18.5. This means in order to get your participation points for the house Cup, you need to complete 18.5 by Friday, March 23rd)
• Top 5 RX Athletes – (15 points available) – 5 points for the top placing athlete, 4 for the second placer, 3 for the third, and so forth through the top 5 RX male and female athletes
• Top 5 Scaled Athletes – (15 points available) – 5 points for the top placing athlete, 4 for the second placer, 3 for the third, and so forth through the top 5 scaled male and female athletes.
• Spirit of the Open – (up to 15 points available per week) – This year the spirit of the open points will be designated to individuals who show exemplary efforts during that week.  This could be someone who really stretched themselves and tried a WOD RX.  It could be a person who judged and cheered their heart out.  It is any individual who you think should get special recognition.  If you see someone who deserves it let a coach know.
• #WCCFHouseCup – (9 points per team) – Each team can earn 9 points by posting a related photo to Instagram with all three hashtags: #WCCFHouseCup #[yourteamnamehere] #WineCountryCrossfit AND tagging your location to Winecountrycrossfit. 1 point per post, up to 3 points possible, and posts must come from 3 different people (cannot be the captains).
• Complete the Judge’s Course **AKA How you can score points before the Open begins!** – (5 points per athlete) – 5 points will be awarded to any athlete who shows proof of completing the online CrossFit Open Judge’s Course.  If the course is completed before the open begins, the athlete earns 5 points.  If the course is completed in the first 3 weeks after the open begins, the athlete earns 3 points.  There are no points for completing the course in the 4th & 5th weeks.
• Head to Head Challenge – (5 points per challenge) – Think you will beat an athlete on the next workout?  Each athlete can challenge 1 athlete on another team to go “head to head”. If the other athlete accepts the challenge (before either athlete does the workout), then the winning athlete can earn 2 points for their team. The challenger gets 2 points.  If you accept you get 1 point.  Let your coach know if you wish to make a challenge.
• Have fun and let the GAMES begin!
