[QUOTE=Steven Thunander;1249897]CFHQ should issue minimum guidelines for the RXed division. Max workout times on benchmarks as RXed, skills required (eg muscleups, pistols), minimum 1rm's on lifts.[/QUOTE]

Possibly they set a minimum limit for example you must be able to compete at least 1 round for a valid score.

When you see people doing 15 T2B and nothing else and then hitting a massive C&J then the system is messed up. If you can do a C&J you must be able to do a deadlift or ?

[QUOTE=David Alexander;1249907]I'd rather be last in rx than first in scaled. Just my opinion.[/QUOTE]
Agreed, which is why I spent 9 minutes trying my hardest to get TTB and had a *legitimate* score of 1. With a C&J of 135# after. But I was thrilled because getting up into the Rx division for the first part of the workout meant that my C&J counted for that much more. Accusations of sandbagging would be pretty ridiculous, I worked my butt off for that 1 rep.

The only time I'm not going to go Rx is if I would otherwise score a zero (ie, can't even get one rep of the very first movement). Which is why I think we *are* going to see the more difficult movements placed first in these workouts, to separate people out to scaled right away.

I will cry if pistols come out. I have a knee that's been ravaged by a bone condition (OCD: osteochondritis dessecans) and some surgically-removed cartilage. CF has made me realize I am still capable of a lot of movements despite that, but the handful of times I've even attempted a pistol have not been fun. *sigh* Who knows....maybe an Open WOD would prompt me to somehow find the capacity to get one...

[QUOTE=Tighe Crovetti;1249879]It's an error that the person who validated the score SURELY should have caught before putting it through, and that the athlete should have addressed by now as well. I found her FB profile, as I was researching whether or not there was ANY chance she did the lift (like, she was an actual competitive weightlifter or something). I'm tempted to message her.[/QUOTE]
I did end up messaging that woman. I didn't get a response, but her score has been corrected.

No chance pistols are in one of the WODs.

Sam said her wrist was banged up.. beast mode on the 15.1.. Alpha not so much..

Way to go on 15.1 Mike!

Re: 2015 CrossFit Open, Regionals, and Games Thread
 

Hope for
10 Pistols
15 HSPU
30 Double unders 15 min amrap...

Now what I think that they might use..

Thrusters/C2B just because they use them dam near every year.

It doesn't look like Double unders because the flooring.

Bar facing burpees.. are always a love for HQ..

I have never even been close to what they pick so guess I will stop.

Final-
Chipper-
60 burpees bar facing
50 box jumps
40 thrusters
30 C2B
20 HSPU
10 Muscle ups

AMRAP 17 min

Thanks Vic. 15.1 was a good one for me.

^^^Sounds like a challenging chipper.

Re: 2015 CrossFit Open, Regionals, and Games Thread
