Southeast Regional Event Information
All the info you need to enjoy the SE event.
The following note comes from Johnny Mac on the Southeast Regional.
CrossFit Games South East Regional Qualifier is fast approaching! As 140 Individuals, 43 Teams and 22 Master athletes from Georgia, Florida, Mississippi, Alabama, Tennessee, North Carolina and South Carolina all begin their last few weeks of preparation so does the Dirty South Event Staff.
March thru April were very productive in that we had given life to the event workouts and appropriately so their names. For the individuals: Old Glory, Normandy D-Day, 3rd US Infantry and The Qualifier. Honorable mention for the Affiliate Teams and Masters events goes to Platoon, Taps, and a twist on two old favorites Helenish and Chesty Cindy.

Spectators, Guests and Competitors
To make your weekend more enjoyable please plan for all weather conditions from hot to mild to rainy, bring shade i.e. EZ-up tents with anchors as we will have a very large outdoor Village area set aside. We will have both indoor and outdoor event workouts, giving you a nice break from the potential weather. Limited food vending will be onsite but please plan on supplying yourself. Our location is ideal as anything and everything is within .1 to .2 miles just outside of the park gates.
Equipment Sales
We will have reserved equipment sales available from our event sponsors. The process is simple, contact Todd Lynch at todd@bgifit.com and on a first-come, first-served basis, your equipment will be reserved and available for pre-purchase and pick up Sunday post event. Exact equipment cost will be discounted from Rogue retail and available to you by May 25th. What equipment you ask, without giving away the event this is our very generic list:

Rogue Bumpers 5lbs to 45lbs

Rogue Rings
Rogue Kettlebells 70lb 53lb and 35lb
Rogue Sandbags and Fillers
C2 Rowers
Event Staff and Sponsors
Let me start by saying thank you for your generosity, you are the foundation for the entire event! Three things can and will make or break our event Programming, Consistency in Event Judging and Communication throughout the event. "What we should care about is whether the rules are fairly communicated, established such that athletes can comply, and adjudicated impartially, consistently, and to facilitate enjoyment of the performance. If so, that's about all the fairness I can stand." Author Paul "Apolloswabbie" Eich?
Volunteers and Event Judges are still needed, please register online under the CrossFit Games Southeast Regional Volunteer link.
For all sponsorship opportunities contact Rob LaBar at crossfitnow@hotmail.com.
See everyone soon,
Johnny Mac

Shouldn't it be Rogue equipment? Not Rouge. Just sayin'...you should probably spell the name of a sponsor correctly. Unless it IS Rouge...then I will slap my own wrist. Good luck to all the competitors (especially from Forged Fitness)!!!
