After that, there will be a 10 dollar fee to participate, and then 20 dollars after September 10th. Raising money for this event could land you two round-trip tickets to the 2012 Crossfit Games!

If you are not familiar with Fight gone Bad, here is the workout:"Fight Gone Bad!"

Three rounds of:
Wall-ball, 20/14 pound ball, 10 ft target (Reps)
Sumo deadlift high-pull, 75/55 pounds (Reps)
Box Jump, 20" box (Reps)
Push-press, 75/55 pounds (Reps)
Row (Calories)

In this workout you move from each of five stations after a minute.The clock does not reset or stop between exercises. This is a five-minute round from which a one-minute break is allowed before repeating. On call of "rotate", the athletes must move to next station immediately for best score. One point is given for each rep, except on the rower where each calorie is one point.Please Read the note below from Crossfit RedStick who will be sponsoring the event in Baton Rouge:
