We had some feedback after we removed the Handstand Walk from the scoring in this years AllStar Round-Up and we take what each and every one of you has to say very seriously and appreciate the feedback. Due to a very valid argument to include the Handstand Walk in this years scoring, weve decided to add that back in as a full 100% point as much a a WOD. In the 2011 CrossFit Games it was scored 100 points like the other WODs that year showing the diversity of the athletes. Top competitors should be ready for anything. Scaled athletes will still have the Handstand Hold for time. Spectators will still have an opportunity to compete in this event in a Spectator Only Division with a separate prize and bragging rights! However, registered athletes will be able to cut ahead in line at this event booth to ensure theres enough time for the athletes to get this work done. This event must be completed by 5pm on Sunday, no exceptions. Please dont wait till the last minute to perform this event, well close the booth at 5pm. Handstand Walk is on grass turf. Handstand Hold is on concrete with 2 to 3 yoga mats on top, feet leaning up against the side of a wood building. Ultimately CrossFit asks us to address our weaknesses in an effort to create the most well rounded YOU possible. If the Handstand or Handstand Walk is a weakness of yours, use this as an opportunity to find comfort in the uncomfortable, all in the spirit of self betterment:) Please no Facebook arguments about this event Mahalo! Thanks for your cooroperation.
