Tier 1 and Tier 2 World Ninja League Regional Championships celebrate the effort, persistence, and breakthrough moments that define every ninja’s journey. Bringing together the best in speed and strength, every obstacle is a chance to rise to the challenge and continue along the road to Worlds.
Throughout the season, every ninja athlete puts in endless hours of training and pushes to conquer challenges every day. From the first obstacle at a Standard Qualifier to showcasing your dedication at Regionals, this is the path to qualification.
Every Standard Qualifier is an opportunity to face new challenges, push limits, and a chance to secure a spot at the Regional Championships in that region.
Athletes finishing in the top three in their division at any Standard Qualifier qualify for that region’s Regional Championships.
Athletes who are already qualified and place in the top 3 again open up a roll-down spot for the next highest finisher.
After an athlete qualifies, the World Ninja League will send an official Regionals qualification email. Watch your inbox!
Once locations are announced and registration is open, links will be shared on the seasonal Regionals information page. Visit the seasonal page for the latest registration updates.
Athletes are not limited to competing in their home region and may compete in any Regional Championships in which they are qualified. If qualified in multiple regions, athletes may also participate in multiple Regionals.

Whether qualified in Tier 1 or Tier 2, athletes will get the same thrilling experience of taking on two courses in an exhilarating atmosphere at the World Ninja League Regional Championships
While both Tier 1 and Tier 2 Regional Championships follow the same format, the courses are scaled appropriately for the ability level of each tier and division.
Run order for Regionals will be determined by total season points from each athlete’s best 12 competitions. The higher the points, the later in the run order.
Conquering two distinct courses allows athletes to showcase their consistency, endurance, strength, and speed.
Every athlete’s efforts and accomplishments are recognized through a standardized and equitable scoring system, regardless of tier or division.
An athlete’s season journey doesn’t stop with the Regional Championships. At Regionals, athletes will compete for their spot at the World Ninja League World Championships.
