Competition Info

WNL Challenge Course

​

The WNL Challenge Course format allows for a few retries on obstacles as athletes go through the course.

​

The athlete starts the course with two retries, which can't be used on the same obstacle. If an athlete fails an obstacle, time is paused, and the athlete returns to the start platform of the obstacle. Once the obstacle is fully reset (or immediately, if no resetting of the obstacle is required) the timer will give a 3 second countdown, after which time is un-paused and the athlete attempts the obstacle again. 

​

If the athlete fails the obstacle on their retry attempt, then they fail out of the course. Once this happens, the athlete is welcome to attempt each of the remaining obstacles in the course until their time limit is reached. However, once the athlete has failed out, they will stop accumulating points, and their total time will be marked at the last obstacle they completed before failing out. 

​

Combined WNL Tier 1/Tier 2 Competition

​

Both competitions are combined Tier 1/Tier 2 events. At registration, you will need to select for each athlete whether they are competing in Tier 1 or Tier 2 for the weekend. 

​

Tier 1 is for intermediate to advanced ninjas, and is open to anyone. Tier 2 is for beginner athletes, and so the top 25% of athletes in the region are ineligible to compete in this tier. 

​

No matter which tier you decide to compete in, you'll be in the same wave, with the same course walkthrough. The courses for the different tiers will be mostly the same, just with slight modifications to some obstacles to make them easier or harder. In each wave, the Tier 2 athletes will run first, and then the Tier 1 athletes immediately after. 

​

This means that there will be TWO podiums for each division- one for Tier 1, and one for Tier 2. 

​
