The CanWest Games
Community spirit in a safe and challenging environment — with online qualifiers that level the field before the main event at Percy Perry Stadium, Coquitlam, BC.
Competitors qualify through weekly online workouts, then meet on-site for the Games. The 2017 main event ran July 28–30, 2017 across Percy Perry Park, Virus Main Stage, Spider Chalk Field and Gorila Gardens.
How it works
Compete in the qualifier, then on site
All athletes must participate in the CanWest Games Online Qualifier to compete at The CanWest Games in Elite, Masters, or Trio Team divisions. The qualifiers run as a series of weekly workouts, results are submitted by video, and a leaderboard tracks individual and team progress across the weeks.
- Online Qualifier — multiple weekly WODs with variations for Masters, Teens and Scaled.
- Video submission — required for qualifier results, with clear visibility of movements.
- Leaderboard — standings track performance week by week.
- Registration — opens after the qualifier; teams enter as Trios.
