"Kristi Eramo looking to be the featured act. *Someone who demonstrated the capacity to be at regionals* and her band of games vets..."
Fixed that one for you.

I get featuring R. Paul Castillo on there, reigning Central Region Champ, but why Saxon Panchek? Correct me if I'm wrong, but he didn't make it to the Games last year. Also, why not feature Streat Hoerner who was 13th in the Games last year and missed winning the Region by quite literally a tenth of a second? Overall though, will be a really fun completion to watch this weekend!

"Brooke Wells" I wonder why they are not using the open hspu standards during regionals. All you have to do is lockout. She would still kick my ass all over the gym. I felt the new open hspu standards should have been announced prior to the open. They gave a heads up for burpees and dumbell snatches.

i think we're at the point now where they can start highlighting the team competition more. How many individual games capable athletes are going team this year. 20? That's almost half of the total number of individuals they let in...

Fraser is going to rip this region a new one.

Please stop using stationary cardio equipment in your events. It’s lame. I love CrossFit, and the games events are usually very innovative (clean ladders should be an Olympic event!). But you are feeding the worst stereotypes about “watching people exercise” when athletes race of rowing machines, stationary bikes, and treadmills. If there’s a race, actually race.
