Plain and simple in my opinion. You shouldn't have to follow the director of the games/ programmer to find out things about the games. Every type of announcement should come from the crossfit games media accounts.
I am very excited for Christine's stories - for the past two years, her athlete stories, particularly the stories on the lesser known athletes, have been the most exciting part of the Games. The stories she chooses to focus on, and the way she writes those stories, make these athletes more human and relatable to us mere mortals - which I think in turn make their achievements even more amazing. Crossfit should have her head up the media team - I'm willing to bet the viewership and interest would sky-rocket with her at the helm.
I think they struggle in general with the flow of information. Info comes from too many sources. I am a ticket holder and have seen nothing about signing up for community workouts - in the app or otherwise. Then I hear from someone that “too late, everything is booked”. Just one example.
I agree w/you John, Dave's page should not be the de facto official CrossFit page. This speaks to the larger problem with the way CrossFit HQ manages their marketing and communications. As a customer-facing business, your comms and marketing teams are your lifeblood and primary connection point to the community they purport to serve.

Great points!
Thank you!
