Team ‘CHallenge’

The purpose of the Team CHallenge is to:

• Encourage and develop the CrossFit sense of community within each Affiliate and within Switzerland.
• To promote greater fitness through competition and rivalry between teams within each Affiliate and within Switzerland.
• To allow for and encourage participation of athletes from all levels of fitness and not just the ‘elite’.
• To hold a Team CHallenge on a regular basis, at least once per year.

The rules of the Team CHallenge are as follows:

Teams

• Teams are limited to 4 people.
• Teams must have at least 1 male and 1 female.
• Team members can be changed up to 24 hours prior to the competition.
• No substitutions may be made beyond that time.
