The 2012 CrossFit Games were the sixth edition of the CrossFit Games, held on July 11–15, 2012, at the Home Depot Center in Carson, California, with some events taking place at Camp Pendleton. The men's competition was won by Rich Froning Jr., the women's by Annie Thorisdottir, and the Affiliate Cup by Hacks Pack UTE. Both Froning and Thorisdottir were repeat champions from the previous year.
The number of participants increased to 69,000 for this year's Open. In this season, the special invites to previous champions were removed and they all had to qualify through the Regionals. At the Games, 15 events took place over four days, the most yet for a Games.
Qualification.
Open.
in this season, 69,000 athletes registered to compete in the Open. The Open took place over five weeks (reduced from six in 2011) from February 22 to March 25, 2012, during which a workout was release every week for the athletes to perform, and athletes can then submit their results for each of the 5 workouts before the deadline every week. Cash prizes were offered to participants selected for the Spirit of the Open award, as well as individual winners in the Open from this year onward. Rich Froning and Kristan Clever were the respective Open male and female individual winners.
Regionals.
From the Open, 60 men, 60 women and 30 teams of each region with the best results proceeded to compete in 17 Regionals that took place from April 27 to May 27. Previous champions also had to compete in the Regionals, but extra qualification places were provided for regions where the champions competed. Athletes competed in 6 events in the Regionals – after five events, the field was cut to 18 in each Regional. Both the Open and Regionals again used a point system different from the one used in the Games: points were awarded according to the position (1 point for first place, etc.), those with the lowest total points would qualify for the next stage. 91 athletes, 46 men and 45 women, went on to compete in the Games.
Individuals.
The first three event were held at Marine Corps Base Camp Pendleton, which were unexpected additions, taking place as they did two days before athletes had expected the Games to start. A rest day was introduced after the events at Camp Pendleton before competition resumed at the Home Depot Center in Carson. 
The scoring system was the same as for 2011, with all events scoring 100 points for the winner apart a few events: the Broad Jump, Ball Toss, and Sprint events were scored 50 points. The number of athletes was cut to 36 after the Clean Ladder event, 24 after the Chipper, 18 after the Double-banger, 15 after Elizabeth, 12 after Isabel.
Team events.
The scoring system for the team events was the same as for 2011, where the Friday and Saturday events were regarded as qualifiers, and the scores were wiped clean for the final events on Sunday. Six teams competed in the same final events ("The Girls") as 2011, with the winners crowned the team champions. Unlike previous Games, all six members are required to compete in every events.
