How to join a team

Any athlete wishing to register a team or compete as part of a team must first register as an individual athlete. The athlete who registers the team will be designated as the team manager for the competition season. Team managers will create a team, pay the registration fee, and select athletes to join the team through their CrossFit Account Competition Dashboard. Athletes can also request to join their affiliate’s team from their own Competition Dashboard. Athletes who do not train at a CrossFit affiliate are not eligible to register a team for the Affiliate Cup competition.

Follow the step-by-step process below to join your Affiliate Cup team:

Log into your CrossFit Games account. Then go to the bottom left-hand of your Competition Dashboard and click on "Edit Team".

Select the team you want to join and hit "Save". #thisistheway

You can see your team at the bottom left-hand of your Competition Dashboard.

Things to note:

1. You must first select your affiliate before you can register or join a team

2. The team manager can add anyone from the affiliate roster to the team roster

3. Being on the affiliate roster is not the same as being on the team roster

In order to compete for a team during the Open, Quarterfinals, Semifinals, or the Games, athletes must be registered and listed on the team roster PRIOR to the close of the first Open event. Once the first Open event has closed and an athlete has been assigned to a team roster, this athlete may not compete for any other team during the course of the season, even if another team from the same affiliate qualifies to compete in the next stage(s). It is the responsibility of the team manager to ensure team athletes are properly registered.
