WNL Season X Nationals at TFNTG

On May 31st/June 1st we will be hosting our Nationals competition at TFNTG. Those who have qualified through our Season X competitions already will battle for first place in our Nationals.

This is our biggest competition of the Season and the format reflects that. Nationals will consist of two courses: a speed course following our Flow Course format and a longer course following our Challenge Course format. Athletes will receive points based on their placements on each course (1st Place = 1 Point, 2nd Place = 2 Points, etc.) and the best combined score will win the Course Overall title – and the UK National Championship.

At the end of this competition, all our Nationals athletes will also qualify for the Tier 1 World Championships in the States!

Rules Format/Seeding

Flow Course

• Perfection is key in this format! Athletes will attempt to do all the obstacles in a ninja course without falling off or touching something out of bounds.
• Athletes will be ranked by who completed the most obstacles in succession in the least time.

 

Challenge Course

• Athletes will have the opportunity to run the course once, with two retry attempts allowed throughout their attempt.
• However, if an athlete fails an obstacle, they will only be allowed to use one retry attempt on that particular obstacle.
• An athlete’s overall time on the course is measured, accounting for any pauses taken during retry attempts. The course will be reset for each retry attempt, and the timer will be paused during rest. Once the ref gives their countdown (signalling the course is reset) the timer resumes, ensuring a fair and consistent experience for all runners.
• The course is designed with obstacles that require skill and strategy to navigate, and the challenge is heightened by the limited number of retry attempts.

 

Please see WNL Competition formats for more details.
