Judging

Every event must be judged! Please use the scorecard below. Judges will be arranged on Saturday as part of the day’s workout. It is the team’s responsibility to secure a judge at other times.

A judge can be any Solidarity CrossFit member who is willing to uphold movement standards. Be honest, this is for the most part on honor system. Judges help ensure correct rep counts and to remind people of accidental lapses in range of motion.
