While the Affiliate Cup first appeared in 2009, CrossFit Mayhem first fielded a competitive team only in 2013 when it finished 27th.
Also in 2019, Elly Kabboord tested positive for the performance-enhancing substance clenbuterol,[9] receiving a four-year ban from the sport and forcing Mayhem to re-shuffle their roster, adding Carolyne Prevost to the Independence team in time for the French Throwdown.
[10] Froning attempted to organize a replacement team competition titled Mayhem Madness,[11] but that too had to be cancelled due to travel restriction.
[12] In 2021, CrossFit returned to the Affiliate Cup model, resulting in the ineligibility of Scott Panchik and Chyna Cho.
Andrea Nisler and Taylor Williamson, formerly of Mayhem competitor OC3 Black, both joined the team, along with Rich's cousin Chase Hill.
