Special Event Head to Head Qualifier/Regional

Our first ever Ninja vs. Ninja competition!

We have worked with the WNL to provide a special dual qualifier Head to Head competition! Saturday will be an area qualifier, followed by the Regional qualifier on Sunday. This is a unique opportunity to qualify for Head to Head Worlds, which will take place in Greensboro this June along with the rest of the World Championships event! Please take a moment to read a couple of notes regarding this competition:

  • The ticket cost for this competition is combined ($150 for both days).
  • The top 32 in every division from Saturday will qualify to Sunday, then top 32 from Sunday qualify to Worlds. We do not anticipate having more than 32 in any division, so most likely everyone that competes will qualify. You will also have to complete the first obstacle of the course to qualify, as stated by WNL rules. We will make the first obstacle nearly impossible to fail to avoid any mishaps.
  • The format will be WNL Flow Course rules, but the courses will generally be on the easier side. They will also be designed with speed in mind, and fairly low time caps.
