Only one team member has to represent the team at check in. Someone else may check in for you,
however, we will not be responsible for any athlete’s packs that are lost.
If you are unable to check in for your team, and cannot find a representative to check in for your
team – please email wilna@crossfitpbm.com to request a late check in.
Please keep in mind that you need a Athletes band to enter the venue and Athletes area.

Athletes pack:
In your Athletes pack, you will receive a wrist band which you will need to wear throughout the
weekend, to be able to access the venue. Please note that we only have 1 athlete’s band per
athlete. If you lose your athlete’s band – you can get a replacement athlete’s band for R100
Spectator tickets:
Spectator tickets are available on ScoreIt.co.za

Briefing:
This year we will do things a bit differently. On the Thursday [8 February] we will post a video on
the briefing of event 1. After the 1st event on Friday, we will have a briefing on the rest of the
events. Please make sure to attend this briefing, as we will no longer be briefing athletes before
the start of each heat.

Event queries:
This year we will have 2 head judges. Judges will have been briefed multiple times on each event.
Please respect our judges, as all judges are volunteers. Judges calls are final. If you have a
scoring query, please speak to your judge, along with one of the head judges in a reasonable
manner. DO NOT SIGN THE SCORE CARD IF YOU HAVE A QUERY, only sign after the query has
been attended to by one of the head judges. No video footage will be allowed to query a result
after the score card has been signed.
Athletes are to be in the Athlete holding area at least 10min before the start of their heat.
If you miss your heat, we will unfortunately not be able to make arrangements for you to compete
in another heat.
Heat allocations will change according to the leaderboard after event 1

Warm up Area:
This area will consist of the warm up area, Recovery area and the athlete holding area. Most of
the athletes area will be shaded. USN will provide refreshing recovery drinks. There will be
PotBelly ice baths for athletes to use, free of charge.
