The Ninja Challenge League Finals sponsored by OZIGRIP is the culmination of the 2023 season.
The top ninjas from Australia and international wildcards will compete at The Compound Training Bayswater in Melbourne, Victoria on Saturday, October 7 and Sunday, October 8, 2023.
We will also be hosting a modified version of the Australian Ninja Open after the NCL Finals wraps up. Read all about it here: LINK
*: Please note this is a rough schedule and may be adjusted based on the number of competitors who clear Stage 1.
To accommodate more spectators and portable toilets, The Compound Training’s allocated on-site parking will be fenced off as an overflow spectator area, so there will be NO ON-SITE PARKING directly outside the venue.
No spectators or competitors are allowed to park in the business park, as the neighbouring businesses will be operating and require those parking bays for their customers.
The map below shows three sites where parking is available:
Allow at least 10 minutes of walking to reach the competition venue.
The Service Road on Dorset Road is the closest walk and will have the least impact on surrounding businesses.
Per the schedule above, the Young Adult Finalists will run before Adult Finalists in each stage.
The Finals will consist of three stages of competition over the course of the weekend.
The course for the Finals stages will be revealed on the morning of the first day of competition.
Competitors will not be allowed to practice any part of the course unless otherwise specified on the day.
The run order for ALL STAGES will be determined by how many points competitors scored at events throughout the year, with the highest-scoring competitors running later in 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 30 competitors in the adult division clear Stage One, then as many non-finishers as needed to reach 30 competitors will advance to Stage Two for unofficial runs, based on furthest-fastest on Stage One.
If less than 15 competitors in the young adult division clear Stage One, then as many non-finishers as needed to reach 15 competitors or 50 per cent of the field (whichever is smaller) 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 3 competitors in the young adult division clear Stage Two, then as many non-finishers as needed to reach 3 competitors will advance to Stage Three for unofficial runs, based on furthest-fastest on Stage Two.
