My new interview with Mark Rippetoe on the CrossFit Total might be of interest:
A New Sport of Strength: An Interview with Mark Rippetoe on the CrossFit Total

It was a very good interview. It’ll be interesting to see what the interest is in the first few meets.
I like mark but isn’t this just reinventing the wheel. This is pretty much just what early PL meets were like before they added the bench press. Seems like there is a big push from a lot of different angles to move PL back away from the gear and closer to its roots. It will be interesting to see how many people and what caliber of athletes attend. Also interesting comments in that interview about the trap bar and the singlets. Not sure I follow his logic on the singlet. People will find away to take advantage of wearing regular clothes
