Challenge Course

Problem solve!

Challenge courses are the newest ninja competition format! This is a twist on the Flow Course format. Athletes get multiple attempts throughout their course run to figure out spots where they have fallen.

Athletes are allowed to retry two obstacles per Challenge Course. However, athletes may only retry a failed obstacle one time. The athlete must complete the failed obstacle on their subsequent attempt in order to progress through the course. Once the athlete has used up their 2 retries or fails a retry attempt, the run is over.

Read a simplified version of how scoring works below.

OBSTACLES

  • Clear each obstacle in succession, with two potential obstacle retry attempts. Only one retry is allowed per obstacle. If an athlete falls on a retry attempt, their run is over.
  • Athletes receive one point for each obstacle they clear.

TIME

  • Manage time to get lowest possible overall time.
  • The athlete’s time is tracked from when they start till their last completed obstacle. However, there is a reset period before a retry where time is paused until the ref reinitiates a countdown.
