In addition, Affiliate Managers must:

(1) Pass the  Online Judges Course,
(2) Commit to upholding the standards and ethics of the CrossFit Games, and 
(3) Assert that they have the equipment, facility, and judges necessary to administer the workouts.

Those who complete registration are brought to their  Competition Dashboard. This is where an athlete submits their scores and updates their personal information. This is also where you'll start the Affiliate Manager registration process.
