How do I validate an Open score?

Affiliate Managers can validate scores. If your affiliate does not have an Affiliate Manager set up yet, follow the steps outlined in the " Affiliate Management 101?" article. 

Alternatively, scores submitted with a judge who has completed the Online Judges Course are automatically validated. 

The first step is log in to your Games account. You do not need to be a registered athlete. The validation deadline is each Wednesday by 5p.m. PT.

As the Affiliate Manager you can validate scores from your Competition Dashboard the or from the drop down menu under your name at the top right corner of the Games page.

Once you click on the "validate scores" button you should be taken to the validate scores page. Here you will see any pending scores that have been submitted to your affiliate.

If when you click on "validate scores" you are redirected to oc.crossfit.com, that means you have not completed the Online Judges Course. You will need to complete the course before you can validate scores. 

Double check the scores before validating

Make sure the scores submitted are accurate. You should NOT validate any scores that are incorrect. Once scores are validated they may not be able to be adjusted or corrected. If you notice a score was entered incorrectly contact the athlete and see if they can withdraw and re-submit a score before the score submission deadline.

If you are validating after the score submission deadline and notice a score is incorrect, contact Games Support at support@crossfitgames.com immediately for assistance.
