How to be a CrossFit Judge (for beginners)

1. Introduce yourself. 2. Make sure you have the right scorecard and revise name, division, important movement standards, and equipment. 3. Let them know how you'll communicate. i.e. You'll count down their last 3 repetitions out loud. 4. Remind them of their starting position for that workout. 5. Make sure you use your scorecard to always keep track of your athlete's progress with the workout. 6. If you're not sure of a no rep or hesitate, warn them immediately. 7. If you NO REP them make sure they know you did and why. 8. If there's equipment malfunction or the athlete suffers an injury, raise both hands up for the head judge to see you. 9. Let them know their final score, and MAKE SURE they sign their scorecard. 10. Remember they're more nervous than you.
