Our sponsors, Nike and Gatorade, are pround to present Los Juegos CrossFit 2010 - Centro y Sur America Regionales (The Central & South American Regionals for the 2010 CrossFit Games). They will be providing all competitors with a welcome package, and complimentary Gatorade and water throughout the 2-day event. In addition, several local sponsors will be selling food and drink (including beer) to spectators and athletes. Finally, as a courtesy to all competitors, each CrossFit Affiliate sending competitors will have a designated "Team Locker Room" where their athletes may store their belongings and rest between events.

Recommended Packing List:

• Umbrella and rain gear (the likelihood of rain at some point during the event is high)
• Jump Rope (Individuals only - otherwise a standard jump rope will be provided to you)
• Trail running shoes
• Athletic tape
• Yoga mat, pillows, blankets to rest between events

Scaling
Scaling options are available for some events, but not all. Scaling an event automatically disqualifies a competitor (Individual or Team) from earning one of the Central & South American seeds to the 2010 CrossFit Games.

Scoring
As stated earlier, the scoring for the Central & South American Regional will be based on the same scoring system used for the 2009 CrossFit Games. 1 point will be awarded for first place, two points will be awarded for second place, etc. In the event of a tie among Individuals, the tiebreaker will be the total number of repetitions in Event 3. And in the event of a tie among Teams, the tiebreaker will be the total number of Burpees in Event 1.
