For those interested in checking out the action, tickets can be purchased online, or at the door. One day will set you back $25 while a two-day ticket costs $35.

The Indoor Hanger venue can seat a capacity of more than 20,000 people, and the WODs will be geared around ensuring everyone is able to watch.

With the CrossFit Open just 8 weeks away, the OC Throwdown will serve as a great form guide for who to watch out for in 2013.
