This year, the second edition of the Basque Crossfit Txapelketa will be held in Bilbao and its venue will be none other than the BILBAO ARENA (Askatasuna Etorbidea, 13, 48003, Bilbao).

Basque Crossfit Txapelketa, will take place on Friday 3rd, Saturday 4th and Sunday 5th November 2023.

This competition will be divided into two parts: The first part will be the online qualification phase which, once passed, will allow the qualified player to access the second part. Or what is the same, the live event that will take place both in the Bilbao Arena and in some other location yet to be defined.

The competition foresees that athletes who have qualified according to the number indicated in point 4 can enter the presential phase.

Athletes will receive an email informing them of their admission to the on-site phase. They will then have the period of time indicated by the competition organisers to confirm or not their presence. In the absence of confirmation, the next classified athlete will automatically have the possibility to participate in the competition.

Confirmation of participation in the event must be accompanied by payment of the admission fee for the on-site phase.

Along with the confirmation email, the athlete will also receive further information.

The event's social media pages and website will then provide further news and information on updates, briefings, calendar, check-in, orientation, etc.

The organisers reserve the right to change the venue or the training of the on-site phase depending on the needs of the wods (e.g. bad weather).

All teams will have up to a total of 3 changes before the on-site phase (this includes changing the athlete, never the jersey size or the team name. What is chosen at registration will be what will later be handed out and registered at the competition).

* In the case of RX TEAMS, at least one of the WODs will be an individual WOD and one with all 4 members together.

ATTENTION! RX TEAM. The team captain can make up to three changes in Wodbuster Arena up to and including 15 April.

 

The competition foresees that all the teams that have paid the registration fee, will go directly to the presential phase on the 1st, 2nd and 3rd of November (all the teams except the RX TEAMS category).

Athletes who will receive an email informing them of their admission to the on-site phase.

We repeat: confirmation of participation in the event must be accompanied by payment of the admission fee for the on-site phase.

Together with the confirmation email, the athlete will also receive further information for the on-site phase.

The event's social media pages and website will then provide further news and information on updates, briefings, calendar, check-in, orientation, etc.

The organisers reserve the right to change the venue or the training of the on-site phase depending on the needs of the wods (e.g. bad weather).

All teams will have up to a total of 3 changes before the on-site phase (this includes changing the athlete, never the jersey size or the team name). What is chosen at registration will then be handed out and registered at the competition.

The organisation reserves the unquestionable and inalienable right to accept or reject the registration of an athlete. The organisation also reserves the exclusive right to validate or invalidate the scores of an athlete.

Basque Crossfit Txapelketa will be doping free for another year and those athletes who test positive, apart from not being able to access the prize money, will have to expose themselves to the penalties that Crossfit determines.

The organisers reserve the right, with complete autonomy and absolute discretion, to invite any athlete whose presence may add prestige and sporting value to the competition.

In order to participate in the event, the athlete confirms through his/her registration with Wodbuster Arena that he/she fully and completely agrees with the rules and guidelines set out in these Regulations.

At the same time, insisting on the acceptance of the same, once they arrive at the on-site phase, they will sign in situ or via Whatsapp the acceptance to the competition and the minors will accept adding to it the authorisation of their legal guardians.

The trainings (in the data sheet attached to the videos) include:

  • Movements required
  • Performance points for each movement (the athlete must know the performance points for each movement called "lower and upper position").
  • Number of repetitions required.
  • The equipment used should be standard:

- Bar, discs and any other item in kg (if weights in pounds are used, the accepted tolerance in conversion is 0,5 kg over or under).

  • Time available.
  • Scoring method.
  • Variations of movement.
  • Guidelines for video recording.

Modification of the qualification training is strictly prohibited and constitutes invalidation of the entire video test.

It is absolutely forbidden to change the standard of movement or to modify the range of motion of an exercise. Therefore, any movement that is considered unusual, out of the ordinary or that is used to shorten or modify the prescribed movement will be penalised. The organisers reserve the right to request any documentary evidence to be provided by the athlete.

It is the sole responsibility of the athlete to ensure that the score is entered within the time defined by the training deadline. Any incomplete entries cannot be considered. The organisation reserves the right to modify the deadline.

The training results will be corrected according to the method presented in the Judge Course 2023:

  • Good video: the video is penalty-free.
  • Valid with Penalty: these will be counted in the score by subtracting the non-reps from the result. If the score is determined by the execution time, the execution time will be increased by the value of the no rep given.
  • Invalid: the athlete has not performed the training as prescribed, has added an unacceptable number of non-reps, or the video cannot be evaluated due to framing.

The decision of the arbitration body is final.

The date, venue and logistical information will be communicated through the event's social media pages and website. Athletes are obliged to check-in in accordance with the communications that will be provided through these channels in the manner and time indicated, providing the documentation that will be requested.

The organisers reserve the right to determine the categories and positions for which prize money will be awarded.

Prize money will be awarded once the organisation receives the results of the anti-doping tests. This may take up to 6 months.

In case of a tie, the Games Rules shall apply (considering the best position achieved by the athlete with respect to the best result in each individual event). If these rules do not determine the winner, the youngest athlete will be awarded the victory and, in case of equal age, the athlete who entered the competition first (date and time of registration) will be the winner.

The competent company for this section in 2024 will be Delta Judge.

During all phases of the competition the performances of the athletes are verified by one or more judges appointed by the organisation.

Each competitor must sign the scorecard to validate the score assigned by the judge; in case of dispute, the competitor must immediately appeal to the competition director (chief judge).

A signed scorecard cannot be challenged, and the score assigned by the judge is final and not subject to appeal. In no case are variations allowed after the closing of the leaderboard.

In order for the athlete to be able to claim an incident during the competition, the organisation together with Delta Judge may require a deposit. This deposit will be sent back in case the athlete is right.

Basque Crossfit Txapelketa reserves the right to act in the competent legal offices for the recovery of any damage.

Any unsportsmanlike conduct and any possible attitude aimed at harming the organisation, participants, sponsors, spectators and others present or at preventing other competitors from participating in the competition in a fair and correct manner are also punishable by penalties in the classification. The decisions of the organisation or the director are final and not subject to appeal.
