Hi all,
Bookings have now closed and the field is set for an exciting WA Youth Finals 2024 sponsored by Goodman Grips and MCT Equipment at Ninja Academy Perth on Sunday, August 18. We can’t wait to see what our incredible athletes from WA and NSW can achieve on our challenging two-stage courses.
Below you’ll find the official run orders and a rough schedule for the day.
But before that, a quick refresher on the format for each stage and some other house-keeping matters:
Given the tight turnaround from my arrival to the day of the competition, courses and rules for each stage will be available on Friday, August 16 at the earliest. If we encounter delays, we may only be able to publish the courses on Saturday, August 17.
While Ninja Academy will be closed to the public on Saturday, August 17 for the 24-hour Pull-Up Challenge, it is our understanding that the course is due to be reset on Wednesday, August 14, so you will have an opportunity to try out some obstacles before the competition – although not every obstacle will be included.
We will publish the rules to our YouTube page and email you a link when they are ready, but be sure to subscribe to our channel just in case the email goes to junk or spam.
Athletes will be expected to have watched and understood the rules for each stage ahead of the competition – there will be no rules walkthrough on the day, but we will conduct reach checks to ensure athletes can access the starts of obstacles as needed.
In the first stage, competitors will face a speed course with a tight time limit, and must hit the buzzer to officially progress to Stage 2. If a competitor falls on Stage 1, their run will officially be over, but they’ll be able to attempt the remaining obstacles until their time limit expires.
If less than 10 competitors clear Stage 1, then unofficial runs will be given to the next best performing competitors until there are 10 runners in Stage 2.
As there are less than 10 competitors in each division at this competition – all competitors will be guaranteed either an official or unofficial run on Stage 2 – so be sure to stick around!
In the second stage, competitors will face a more technical, challenging course with a more generous time limit, with final rankings determined by furthest fastest.
Any unofficial runners will attempt Stage 2 first, followed by official runners.
If an unofficial runner fails on an obstacle on Stage 2, their run will be over and they will have to clear the course for the next athlete without attempting any remaining obstacles.
If an official runner fails on an obstacle on Stage 2, their run will officially be over, but they’ll be able to attempt the remaining obstacles until their time limit expires.
Live results for each stage will be posted on our website here: https://www.ninjachallengeleague.com/wa-youth-finals-2024/
These will only be finalised after the conclusion of the event, to allow time for any reviews and challenges.
If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to ask – otherwise we’ll see you this weekend!
All the best,
Mark Ravi
NCL Commissioner
