The event format is the Fight Gone Bad CrossFit format and we are opening the event up to anyone. We are looking for people, CrossFitter and Non CrossFitters alike to participate either by simply paying an entry fee $25 and doing the Workout,obtaining sponsorship, or sponsoring a participant.

In this workout you move from each of five stations after a minute. This is a five-minute round from which a one-minute break is allowed before repeating. The event is in the 3 round format. The stations are:

• Wall-ball: , 10 ft target. (Reps)
