Fantasy CrossFit: 2013 Data

In case you missed it, we’re hosting a Fantasy CrossFit Games competition this year.

The tables below show all of the athletes who made it to the 2013 Games, which region they were from, how well they finished, and how many fantasy points they would have generated if we had been doing this last year.  This is a good place to start for determining which athletes you want to draft for your fantasy team this year.

You can learn some interesting things from these numbers.  For example, David Levey only finished 32nd at the Games, but had the 9th most fantasy points.  Levey racked up lots of points during the Open and Regionals, thanks in part to being from the Africa region where CrossFit is much newer and the overall level of competition not as strong (yet).

On the other side of that coin is Lindsey Valenzuela, who took 2nd at the Games but was only 15th in fantasy points.  Valenzuela is from the SoCal region — one of the oldest and strongest CrossFit communities — and wasn’t able to get as many top finishes during the Open and Regionals due to all the tough competition.

Then again, a fantasy match win during the Games is worth more than a win during the Open or Regionals, so Valenzuela’s fantasy performance may have been more valuable than it looks from those numbers.  Just one more thing for you to consider …
