Last week I wrote about how many “Needs Review” submissions were made via the public review process for the Team Online Semifinals. Well, over the weekend CrossFit began adjusting scores following its own video review. In total, 26 scoring adjustments were made and the team who was originally in first place is now in 11th.
Of the top 10 teams when the leaderboard went up, only one team avoided a scoring adjustment – Solidarity CrossFit Basecamp. As such, they moved up from 2nd overall and now sit in 1st place.
The benefactor of CrossFit Body Blueprint’s penalties was Blueprint CrossFit Team AOD. They were originally one spot out in 8th place. But with only one small four second penalty on Workout 1, the team from England moved all the way up to 3rd place.
All of the other teams who were originally in the top 7 remained, although it was a bit tumultuous for CrossFit 1124. They received one major penalty on Workout 3 for non-synchronized double-unders, costing them 58 reps. They went from 10th on the workout to 20th, which temporarily dropped them to 8th place overall.
However, as more penalties were assessed, CrossFit 1124 moved back up into a tie for 6th place with AR-1 CrossFit.
In reviewing all of the scoring adjustments, it appears that CrossFit has concluded its review. A team as far down as 29th place received a minor penalty on Workout 2 indicating that CrossFit reviewed videos of teams who potentially could have impacted the order of the top teams looking to qualify.
But just because CrossFit is done with its review, there is likely time for appeals. Teams have 24 hours following notification of their penalty to appeal. CrossFit will then review the appeal and re-review the video submission.
CrossFit has until Monday, June 22, to finalize the Team Online Semifinal leaderboard. But unless something drastic happens, it appears that the top 7 are set as the 8th place team, CrossFit Krypton are five points out of a qualifying spot and since they did not receive a scoring adjustment it will be tough to move up.
The best chance for a major change is with CrossFit Body Blueprint. If either of the major penalties are reversed (however unlikely that may be), it would move them up into the top 7.
Here is the current leaderboard…
