Welcome to the Northwest Tier 1/Tier 2 combined Regional Championship! Remember, to participate in this competition, you must be qualified from the Northwest region in either Tier 1 or Tier 2. Top 16 or top 35% in each age/gender division will advance to WNL World Championships, taking place in Greensboro, NC in June.

Each athlete will be running two courses for this competition. The first course will be a speed course using Flow Course rules. The second course will be a longer course using Challenge Course rules for Tier 1, and Full Course rules for Tier 2. Both courses will count toward an athletes’ final standings. Athletes will receive points based on their placements on each course and the best combined score will win the Course Overall title – and the Regional Championship.

Our event age groups and run dates are listed below. You will register in the same division you’ve been competing in this season. Awards will be handed out after each course wave, with redemption time taking place at the end of each day! Medals will be awarded to top three finishers in every age/gender division. Cash prizes will be awarded to the top three finishers in the Elite male and female division.

Registration

We are limited in the number of competitors we can accommodate, so register early! Please make sure to fill out all fields correctly to ensure a proper registration. If you need help finding Ninjaworks ID’s for you or your coach, you can look them up here: https://worldninjaleague.org/athlete-search/

Per WNL rules, all coaches at this competition are REQUIRED to have an up-to-date WNL Floor Certification. At the time of registration, you will need to enter your coach name and coach Ninjaworks ID. It is your responsibility to communicate with your coach regarding their certification status. We are not able to follow up with every coach that may or may not be certified prior to the event. Upon arrival, certified coaches will receive a coach wristband for the event. Only certified coaches will be permitted on the floor, including rules walkthroughs and the athlete’s run. This includes parents and/or friends, even if you are not coaching.

More information on the WNL Floor Certification can be found here: https://worldninjaleague.org/coaching-certification/

The steps to complete this include:

• Signing up for a Ninjaworks account, and adding a profile photo.
• Completing the Floor Certification training and exam. Cost is $49.99 for new coaches, with discount if you’re recertifying.
• Completing the Abuse Prevention Training through Safesport. Cost is $19, with discount if recertifying.
• Background check via SportsEngine. Cost is $25.50 for US residents (good for five years), or $155 for international residents (good for 10 years).

A certified coach must complete ALL of the steps to be certified. If any of these steps are not completed, it will result in a status of “Pending” in Ninjaworks, which is not an acceptable status to receive a coach wristband.

Background checks can take additional time to clear, so be sure you complete all of this at least two weeks ahead of the competition to ensure you’re cleared.
