Prior to the beginning of the 2023 competitive season, the Adaptive division underwent a notable restructuring. Adaptive division criteria were re-evaluated and updated, while verification standards were designed to be certain that athletes with similar abilities were competing in appropriate divisions.

Moreover, the Adaptive division formerly known as “Neuromuscular” was renamed Multi Extremity. The change, in line with CrossFit, was made “to eliminate confusion because the previous name was based on the origin of the impairment … The name change higher suits the talents of the athletes represented within the division.”
