PLEASE READ BELOW----TWICE---!!!
* You have to do as many squat cleans as possible without putting the bar down. Reps must be touch and go. IF you 'fail' then for the amount of squat cleans that you did not finish you will have to do as many pull ups. Then come back to the bar and finish the round of squat cleans. The remaining squat cleans may be done as needed.
Example: The first round- Athlete completes 14 squat cleans without 'fail' on the 15th the athlete 'fails on the lift, The athlete will then have to do 16 pull ups before the athlete may continue with the 16 squat cleans. BUT, the next 16 squat cleans maybe broken up as much as needed.

And athletes cannot win the prize unless they follow the rules.
2 Timothy 2:5
The PRIZE in CrossFit is basically completing a goal. Which could be setting a PR on a lift, completing a long term goal like getting your first pull up, or 'winning' the WOD for that class or day.
The prize is not worth it if you do not follow the rules or have to cut corners. By letting pride get in the way, or simply not do the required work to finish the job- i.e. not doing all the repetitions in a WOD. Who cares if you win then, and trust me your peers know if you are 'cheating'...
Another rule to follow is ALWAYS use good form. This sounds pretty simple, and seems pretty basic, but I have seen to often where athletes sacrifice form just to finish the WOD. If you think that doing it wrong is easier when tired this is false by the way. Doing it wrong will actually fatigue you more by using other muscle groups or not enough to compensate for poor form. Sacrificing form is never an option.
Its OK to be competitive, but not at the expense of doing it right, whatever that may be.
