Top Performers at the CrossFit Regionals

The CrossFit Regionals have wrapped up for another year, and what a spectacle they have been.

In the past five weeks we have witness dozens of world records broken, a number of veterans show they are far from a spent force, and seen new faces upset some big names to secure a spot at the Home Depot Center in July.

With just one event left remaining in the CrossFit season, the burning question is: who deserved to be favorite to claim the title of being the fittest in the world?

Thankfully, one of our readers made that task easier for us.

Dave Secondino made a post in our forums earlier this week, naming the top ten men, women and team performers over the Regional events, essentially giving us seeding for the 2012 CrossFit Games.

The formula is quite simple. The first step is to eliminate all non-qualifiers and pretend that all qualifiers were competing in the same event. Just like in the CrossFit Regionals or the Open, competitors get the same amount of points as the position they finish in.

Let’s use the opening men’s event as an example. Dan Bailey recorded the fasted time in the Diane workout, and therefore gets one point. Chris Spealler had the second fastest time and gets two points, while Rich Froning finished 10th overall, so he gets 10 points.

In the end we came up with these results:

Of course there are many variable factors that weren’t taken into account, like weather conditions, the effect of being pushed by other competitors, and the possibility of competitor ‘coasting’ due to a lack of competition.

There are a few interesting finds from the above tables. In the men’s section we can see that the top ten is dominated by the Central East, NorCal and North East, while Europe (in particular Iceland) and SoCal dominated the women’s.

So remember, if you have a great story or article, post about it  it in our forums as we just might publish it!

Remember these are the results for the Regionals. If you want to see our overall CrossFit Ranking of the worlds top 30 male and female CrossFitters you can find that here.
