Competitiors

This year, Rogue introduced a new ranking system based on the performance of athletes over a 5-year period, but weighted in favor of more recent competitions, such as the Open, Quarterfinals, CrossFit Games and Rogue Invitational. It includes an "Exceptions Points Table" to award points for those who missed a competition for any specific reason. The top 10 athletes in this system were invited to the Invitational, with five athletes from the Q online qualifiers, and five more at the discretion of Rogue.
Ten strongmen and ten strongwomen are invited.
