Since we started WODcast about a year ago, our team envisioned something great for the entire Crossfit community. We realized that we created the most simple, beautiful and user-friendly Crossfit tracking app ever made. But it was missing something really important.
Emotion.

As the CF Games are approaching, we were reminded about a memorable flashback thats worth mentioning. We love the Crossfit Games and we love Crossfit competitions, especially when we get the chance to use our app to support them! (more…)

There’s a lot of stuff cooking at WODcast skunkworks. And we’re really excited to show you over the next few weeks. One feature that we’re really excited about launching is a refreshed dashboard. We realized that our performance tracking needed some improvements when it came to visualizing individual progress over time and from a high-level perspective, show how I did without having to scan through a leaderboard full of many athletes.
Some of the questions we asked ourselves were:
1) Why do Crossfit performance graphs have to be so complicated? Is there a simpler, more friendlier way of looking at how I did?
2) Is there a more emotional and visual way of viewing performance graphs that will get me excited as an individual?
3) What is a symbol that can act as a graphical element to represent performance that is iconic to WODcast alone?
This isn’t about re-inventing graphs. It’s about doing it the best way and the easiest way for the majority of us to understand. We said no to all this line graph, energy output bullshit. This ain’t rocket science. And, it’s over played. We want to take away all that muck, and give you the most important things you’ll want to know. At the end of the day, it’s really simple what we all care about the most. And on top of this, we want to provide a really really really ridiculously sexy visual element that will ultimately motivate you to do more and strive to be at the top everyday.
Just you wait. It’s coming. And we’re just getting started.

We’ve been hard at work with a lineup of amazing features for the Crossfit community. This week, we’ve introduced an essential feature called Injury Notes. And we think Crossfit affiliates and members will love it.
Many affiliates have been asking us about their responsibility as coaches to understand and take mental note of their members and their injuries. Whether their members have past or recent injuries or even surgeries to specific parts of their body, these are the things any coach must take into account when programming specific WODs.

Now that we’re getting a lot of Crossfit Affiliates worldwide interested in having WODcast track the scores for their competitions, we’ve decided to design and build a dedicated page on WODcast.com that talks about our Event Score Tracking service. This page will serve as the ultimate hub for everything you need to know about how you can use WODcast to track the scores for all your athletes during your Crossfit Competition. On this new section of our site, you can learn everything about our features, past events, pricing and a submission form for anyone to book WODcast for an event.

We just recently launched our new Event Score Tracking page! This page highlights our service offerings for tracking scores for Crossfit Competitions and allows affiliates to contact us directly for competition hosting requests (stay tuned for a dedicated blog post about this soon!). In the mean time, we’re excited for you to check out our sizzle promotional video!

9 Months ago – a phone conversation began.
Crossfit Shrewsbury: Hey! We love your app and we would love to use it to track the scores for our competition this weekend! What do you say?
WODcast Team: Interesting! We never thought about having our affiliates use our app this way – but sure! We think it’d be a great way of showcasing our app. And we’re really confident our app is versatile enough to track an entire event.
Crossfit Shrewsbury: Okay! Great! Let’s do it!
Boom!
And suddenly, WODcast Event Score Tracking was born on May 22, 2011 at CF Shrewsbury in Tinton Falls, NJ.

For the past few months, Crossfit affiliates from around the world have approached us to use WODcast as a way to track the scores for their competition. And we are thankful for it, because with these affiliates, we have gained insight into amazing opportunities to evolve our WODcast app to an even better service for Crossfit competition score tracking worldwide.
For the first time ever, WODcast remotely assisted the tracking for a competition across the US — jumping to the west coast to Thorton, Colorado where a growing Crossfit box - CF Eminence hosted a Winter WODfest. Since we weren’t able to fly over to attend the event due to a last minute request, we built our event scoring system to align with their competition’s workouts and ranking method.
And boomsauce!
Another successful event for our wonderful portfolio of Crossfit competition hosting.
