Quote of the day: “The Power Snatch is half the movement. It gives someone with a shitty pull and a shitty finish, the ability to continue to be shitty at Snatching, while moving a relatively heavy load to overhead with the shittiest, most useless possible technique. It allows under-developed lifters to feel good about themselves, while remaining under-developed, and only practicing the pulling portion of the lift. My best lifters—at the Snatch—look the exact same with an empty barbell as they do with 150kg. The Power Snatch is good for de-loading, or practicing the pull, but it should never be a lifters default choice.” – Glenn Pendlay
(Power cleans and Power Snatches are still awesome though)

Notes:
CF Games Open make-up time on Saturday for those doing the Open is moved to 12pm (from 11am).This will allow for the Advnaced RX class to not have to wait for Open make-ups as well as allow for lining up judges. Thursday is still the main day of classes to complete the Open WOD with Friday 6pm and Saturday 12pm as the make-up times.
Masters Rules clarification:
Masters athletes only compete, as Masters, globally. They do not compete with each other Regionally.
While the Leaderboard does sort Masters athletes by Region, these Regional rankings do NOT affect the Masters competition. Masters competitors qualify for the CrossFit Games directly through the Open. For each Masters age division, the top 20 athletes globally from the Open will be invited to the CrossFit Games. Masters athletes do not compete at Regionals.
