The Finals will consist of up to three stages of competition over the course of the weekend.
The Masters and Teens divisions 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 Teens 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 10 competitors in the Adult Male division clear Stage One, then as many non-finishers as needed to reach 10 adult male competitors will advance to Stage Two for unofficial runs, based on furthest-fastest on Stage One.
If less than 10 competitors in the Adult Female division clear Stage One, then as many non-finishers as needed to reach 10 adult female 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 Teens division clear Stage One, then as many 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.
