The final two teams
 |
| Chad + Shaun = $2000 |
 |
| Lydia + Gary - 2 pull ups= $0 |
In the end two teams were left standing. Lydia (Crossfit Oakland) and Gary (Rocklin Crossfit) rolled in to the finals undefeated. Lydia was in charge of dominating the thrusters, and Gary was crushing teams all day when he got on the pull up bar. Meanwhile, Chad and Shaun took the hard road to the finals. They went through the losers bracket and had to do 8 Frans to take the title. They lost in the first round, to a team they would later beat in the semi-finals. When the dust cleared they beat Lydia and Gary by just 2 pull ups to take home the title, and make it rain with $2000.
Video coming soon...
The random draw produced some good teams...

Less than 5 spots left!
Fran Off 2010 is close, very close.
On Saturday November 13 at Crossfit Sweatshop, someone is taking home $2000. Not maybe, or perhaps or might. SOMEONE IS GOING HOME WITH $2000. Thirty two people on sixteen teams will face off in a tournament unlike anything out there. Thirty two people will step up and dig deep to take home the winner take all prize. And what does 2nd place get? Same thing as 16th...dominated.
And where will you be? What will you be doing? Sitting at home waiting for the results to come out so you can tell all your friends how you could'a, should'a, would'a. There are only a few slots left to sign up. This is the only event of it's kind anywhere...and you really think you can miss this? Really?
