The Centaurian Fit-test Competition Judge Team may ask for any related media, but its availability may not guarantee use or admissibility in the overall decision process.

The following are examples of events or actions an athlete can appeal:

  • Issues related to counting, data errors, or equipment failures. The following are examples but do not represent an exhaustive list:
    • Scorecard or leaderboard data inconsistency or error
    • Counting inconsistencies or errors (e.g., the total number of repetitions completed was incorrect)
    • Loading inconsistency or error
    • Course markings or directional travel inconsistencies or error
    • Equipment or monitor failure that was not the responsibility of athlete
    • Event movement or order miscommunication or action by judge
    • Action of another athlete or person which impeded the athlete’s progress

The following are examples of events or actions an athlete cannot appeal:

  • Live judgment calls and “no reps” by the judge. The following are examples but do not represent an exhaustive list:
    • Most range of motion faults (end ranges of repetitions)
    • Depth of a squat
    • Extension of hips, knees, or arms
    • Stabilization of lift or equipment overhead

Notes:

  1. Certain critical reps may also qualify for review; for example, a legless-rope-climb touch or handstand-walk segment. Due to the prolonged time needed to complete these movements compared to other, faster movements (e.g., repetitions of a push press), appeals involving a disputed “no-rep” may need to be considered in these cases.
  2. Typically, athletes cannot raise an appeal against another competing athlete. However, egregious errors brought to the attention of the competition team might be investigated in the interest of fairness.

Tiebreaking policy

In case of a tie between two or more athletes during the event, the following tiebreaking policy applies:

  • Step 1: Centaurian Fit-test Competition first considers which athlete won most of the workouts. The one with the most workouts won is the winner of the tie. If there is still a tie between the athletes, we proceed to Step 2.
  • Step 2: Centaurian Fit-test Competition examines which athlete ranked at 1st place more often. The one with the most 1st place rankings is the tie winner. If there is still a tie, we proceed to Step 3.
  • Step 3: Centaurian Fit-test Competition examines how many times each athlete ranked 2nd to break the tie. The one with the most 2nd place rankings is the tie winner. If there is still a tie, we proceed to 3rd position, 4th, etc.

Drug policy

Athletes disqualified from CrossFit Games for performance-enhancing drug usage are not allowed to participate in Centaurian Fit-test Competition as long as their ban applies.

In addition, Centaurian Fit-test Competition has the right to cooperate with international anti-doping organizations if requested. If requested, athletes taking part in the event will have to collaborate on their behalf and participate in drug-testing programs. If an athlete evades, refuses, or fails to submit to a drug test, then Centaurian Fit-test Competition has the right to ban him/her from the event, and he/she will not be allowed to ask for a refund or compensation.
