There are 6 workouts in the Open Qualifiers, 1 workout per week for 6 weeks. The workout for the week is announced each Tuesday at 17:00 PDT (Pacific Daylight Time), starting on March 15. All participants have until the following Sunday at 17:00 PDT to perform the workout and enter their results online.All athletes 18 years or older who wish to participate in the Open Qualifiers must register online and pay a one-time fee ($10 in the US and Canada, $5 elsewhere). This allows athletes to participate in any or all of the remaining workouts. The birthday cut-offs for the Masters divisions are as follows:
45-49: Born on or between 7/15/61 and 7/14/66 50-54: Born on or between 7/15/56 and 7/14/61 55-59: Born on or between 7/15/51 and 7/14/56 60+: Born on or before 7/14/51
The 2 younger categories of Masters will compete in the same workouts as the individual men and women. The 2 older categories of Masters will be given modified workouts to perform. For each age bracket of the Masters competitions, the top 20 men and top 20 women worldwide will qualify for the Games, with no Regional competition. For Individual Men and Women, each week’s result will be ranked in 2 ways. The first is against every other man or woman in your region. The second is against every other man or woman in the competition. The ranking is updated in real time throughout the week. Once the week officially ends each Sunday at 17:00 PDT, the final ranking for that week becomes your score for that week (1 point for first, 2 points for second, etc). Lower scores are better.
The same process happens each week. Your overall score is the sum of your weekly scores. Your worldwide and regional scores are accumulated independently. At the end of the 6 weeks, those athletes with the lowest overall scores are the winners. The top 60 men and the top 60 women from each region (based on regional ranking) will be invited to compete at Regionals. For Masters Competitors, the scores are calculated in the same way as Individuals, with 2 differences. The first difference is that these athletes are only compared to athletes within their age bracket. Each age bracket is its own separate competition. The second difference is that only the worldwide ranking counts. The top 20 men and top 20 women in the world from each age bracket will be invited to compete in the Games, with no Regional competition. Athletes may submit multiple efforts of a workout. Their best valid performance will count for scoring for that week. However, once the deadline is passed, there will be no opportunity to resubmit a workout performance.
