Each season, the World Ninja League hosts its Regionals. Regional events help athletes qualify for the WNL Championships.

Qualifying for the Championships from a Regional follows the pattern described below:

• Athletes in all divisions must finish in the top 16 or 35% of the unique athletes that competed in the region in the athlete’s respective age division & gender. The total qualifying spots for each region’s age division & gender will be whichever number is greater (16 or 35%) without exceeding the total max qualifiers for division & gender per region of 40 in order to qualify
  • If an athlete finishes in a qualifying spot is already qualified via regular season points, the qualifying spot will bump down to the next athlete in line

To summarize, each division (age/gender) will award at least 16 qualifying spots to athletes. Each division (age/gender) can award a maximum of 40 qualifiers. If the value of 35% of athletes within the division (age/gender) is higher than 16 but not greater than 40, that specific number of qualifying spots will be awarded.

Below is a data table that shows the number of qualifiers via Regionals!
