THIS Thursday “Bizzaro Mad Lab” BEGINS!
What is Madlab?
Most of you have probably noticed the Madlab Banners hanging on the wall as you climb the ropes to the rafters. These banners are the Legacy of our annual Madlab Tournaments: A 6-week team tournament, where you work with the same team each week, competing head-to-head for pride and the Madlab Banner.
Usually, our Madlab’s draw the best of the best athletes CrossFit Vancouver has to offer. This fall, we’re going a slightly different route – we want people who don’t normally sign up for these events, people who might normally be slightly scared to put themselves out there.
So there’s one rule: if you’re part of the High Performance Center group who trains together on Sundays, you’re not allowed to participate. Everyone else is fair game!
The second component: We’re having an evening and a morning Madlab Tournmanent. The top four teams from the morning and the evening tournaments will face off at the end for the 2012 Madlab Banner.
Dates (Beginning this Thursday):
Morning Madlab: Thursday 7 am (there will still be a regular 7 am class run at the same time)
Evening Madlab: Thursday 6 pm
Couple more details:
-You must be approved by a coach, so ask your coach early this week if you are cut out to join a team on Thursday
-We will choose teams prior to this Thursday’s workout
-Teams will be made up of three people
-Numbers are capped at 30 for the evening and 24 for the morning (10 evening teams and 8 morning teams)
-Everyone will participate in the first four weeks of ‘regular season’ workouts, and then the morning and evening top teams will play-off for the banner!
-Cost: $20 (Bring $20 cash on Thursday)

You'll notice depicted on the left side of the above photo... that is what a championship team looks like!
So ......
1) We need judges
2) We have to decide about subs............I think we can allow one....person has to be of lesser fitness rating to qualify
3) Iris......You qualify.......Everyone will have weaknesses
4) Sign up sheet goes up tomorrow night at 6pm class $20 deposit to hold your place
I'm not sure if I would qualify. I don't know what " a fitness rating" is. Sorry if that sounds ignorant. Plus, I have quite a lot of weaknesses and I'd hate to let my team down.
Hey what's the deal if you have to miss a week? out? subs?
Iris.. why don't you try it out, I think you'd have a blast! ;)
will you be needing JUDGES!?!?!?!?
:D

Does that mean there is no regular 6pm class on Thursdays?
