CrossFit Games Open 2019

The CrossFit Games Open 2019 will be the first Open to send many athletes to the 2019 CrossFit Games. Before, like the 2018 CrossFit Open, athletes would qualify for CrossFit Regionals Events. Winners of the CrossFit Games Regionals would then receive invites to the CrossFit Games. This year, with no more CrossFit Regionals 2019 season, an athlete’s best bet to qualify is through a Sanctional event.

Our CrossFit Games Regionals guides break down the Regionals CrossFit 2018 locations. From there, we list out the most relevant Sanctional events.
In this article, we’re taking a look at the CrossFit Pacific Regionals. This is an expanded market this year, bringing sanctional events to CrossFit Asia. The original Pacific Regional ran in Sydney, Australia in early June at Qudos Bank Arena.

Pacific Regionals: CrossFit

Expansion of Regionals CrossFit 2018 events into sanctioned events widened the event list. The Pacific Regionals area grew to four events sanctional events. This is up from only one Pacific Regionals CrossFit 2018 event. There will be two events in Australia and two in China. The first season of Sanctionals will only include three of those events.
