“No different than the affiliate model where all you have to do is get them to walk through the doors and experience one class, the same. Get them to come in, experience Fittest in Cape Town … experience the MACC. … I think the Semifinals should really be an on-site platform no different than the affiliate model, and that can really drive more people into (Semifinal) events, and I think that’s where the ecosystem really starts to flourish.” —Wilson Pak, competition director of the Mid-Atlantic CrossFit Challenge and Syndicate Crown Semifinal competitions (Minute 28:47)
