How do I create/register a team?

After registering and selecting their affiliate, any athlete will have the ability to register a team for the Affiliate Cup team competition. Teams will consist of at least two men and two women who validly register for the Open, have established residence, and have begun training with the affiliate on or before Open registration begins (Jan. 13). Athletes may only compete for one team during each CrossFit Games season.

Any athlete between the ages of 16-54 may contribute to their affiliate’s team score during the Open. Older Masters athletes and younger Teenage athletes can be on the team roster, but they cannot contribute to the team score. Adaptive athletes will not be able to register or join a team.

All athletes need to be on the team roster by the close of the first Open workout. 

Step 1: Register for the Open

Any athlete wishing to register a team or compete as part of a team must first register as an individual athlete.

Step 2: Login, and go to your Competition Dashboard

Once you've completed Open registration, login to Games.CrossFit.com. The main landing page is called your Competition Dashboard. Here, you can make changes to your account such as adding an Affiliate or joining a Team. Before you can create or join a team you must first make sure to select your affiliate. 

Step 3: Create a Team

On the left hand column of the page find the "Team" section near the bottom of your Competition Dashboard. Click the "Edit Team" button underneath Team.

You will then be prompted to either join a team or create a team. Click the "Create a team" button if you are attempting to register a new team.

You will be taken to the Team Registration page to get started:

Naming. You will have the option to bring back a team name from a previous year ("Legacy Team") or create a new team name.

Update for 2022:

By default, all team names will begin with your affiliate’s name. If desired, you can add an optional Team Descriptor to the end of your team’s name to differentiate multiple teams. 

Example: CrossFit Mayhem (Affiliate name) can register both CrossFit Mayhem Freedom and CrossFit Mayhem Independence with "Freedom" and "Independence" being the optional Team Descriptor.

If you’ve created a team in previous competitions, you can link that legacy team’s results to this year’s updated team name.

Payment.The fee for registering a team is US$20 worldwide.

Once the team registration is complete you will receive confirmation.
