The Ninja Challenge League Finals (& Australian Ninja Open) weekend is the culmination of a year of ninja competition – bringing together Australia’s best ninjas in the quest for Total Victory against a gruelling three-stage tournament, followed by a spirited team competition.
Competitors who have accepted their invitations and purchased a ticket to the NCL Finals will compete at on Saturday, October 5 and Sunday, October 6, 2024 at Geelong Ninjas in Geelong, Victoria.
Tickets to the NCL Finals 2024 cost $135.00 and include the Finals competitor exclusive 2024 Finals tee in the size indicated in the competitors’ membership profile, as well as entry to the Australian Ninja Open.
Finals tickets are only available to competitors who have qualified at Ninja Challenge events in 2024.
The Finals will consist of up to three stages of competition over the course of the weekend.
The young adults and masters division will have a longer time limit that the adult divisions on Stages One and Two, and will run before the adult divisions on all stages. However, competitors in the young adults and masters divisions will not be eligible to win Total Victory, Last Ninja Standing, Last Woman Standing or Last Man Standing.
The run order for ALL STAGES in both divisions will be determined by how many points competitors scored at events throughout the year, with the highest-scoring competitors running later in the day.
The course for the Finals stages will be revealed on the morning of the first day of competition at the latest.
Competitors will not be allowed to practice any part of the course unless otherwise specified on the day.
Competitors must complete each stage within the designated time limit (where applicable), beginning with Stage One to progress to the next stage.
If a competitor fails an obstacle on Stage One or Stage Two, they can use the remainder of their time limit to unofficially attempt the remaining obstacles on that stage.
If a competitor falls on Stage Three, they will have three minutes to unofficially attempt the remaining obstacles of Stage Three in that time, if they choose.
If less than 20 competitors in the Adult division clear Stage One, then as many non-finishers as needed to reach 20 competitors will advance to Stage Two for unofficial runs, based on furthest-fastest on Stage One.
If less than 5 competitors in the Young Adult division clear Stage One, then as many YA non-finishers as needed to reach 5 competitors or 50 per cent of the field (whichever is lesser) will advance to Stage Two for unofficial runs, based on furthest-fastest on Stage One.
If less than 5 competitors in the Masters division clear Stage One, then as many Masters non-finishers as needed to reach 5 competitors or 50 per cent of the field (whichever is lesser) will advance to Stage Two for unofficial runs, based on furthest-fastest on Stage One.
If less than 5 competitors in the Adult Division clear Stage Two, then as many non-finishers as needed to reach 5 competitors will advance to Stage Three for unofficial runs, based on furthest-fastest on Stage Two.
If less than 2 competitors in the Young Adult division clear Stage Two, then as many non-finishers as needed to reach 2 competitors will advance to Stage Three for unofficial runs, based on furthest-fastest on Stage Two.
If less than 2 competitors in the Masters division clear Stage Two, then as many non-finishers as needed to reach 2 competitors will advance to Stage Three for unofficial runs, based on furthest-fastest on Stage Two.
In all cases, an unofficial runner on Stage Two will not be able to progress to do an unofficial run on Stage Three – even if they clear the course or are the best performing non-finisher.
