Prize purse: Once again, Rogue is offering their ever-growing “Iron Games Prize Purse.” The goal, as is every year, is to expand the purse and they are taking the following steps to allow that to happen.
- Rogue has provided a 1 million dollar cash investment, and purchased an additional $275,000 of Bitcoin at $16,000 per coin. Any growth to that coin will add to the purse and be “paid out at the valuation at the time the prize purse is locked.”
- $5 per attendee ticket sold, 10% of registration fees for the online qualifier, and 10% of registration fees for the community event, “The C,” will be added to the purse.
- New for 2023, $5.00 for every Rogue Invitational T-shirt sold and $5.00 for every pair of GORUCK Ballistic Trainers sold on roguefitness.com.
Additionally, sponsors will have the ability to make direct contributions to the purse if they so choose.
The 2023 prize purse is locked with a minimum value of $1,275,000 and will be used to pay both the CrossFit and the Strongman competitors.
The payouts currently are as follows:
- $257,420.33
- $89,797.79
- $47,892.15
