Season 5 of the UNAA is underway, and we’ve got everything you need to know about competing this season! So, if you’re looking for information about ninja sport qualifiers, regionals and finals, step inside.
Season 5 Brings New Rules
The UNAA has a NEW point system for scoring. They are as follows:
- There will be a maximum of 3 Fails per course.
- After 3 Fails, the athletes run is over.
- They many finish the course but will not receive a score for the remaining obstacles.
- Their time will end with last Obstacle Completed.
- Each Obstacle will be worth 1 point for full completion.
- For more difficult obstacles, each obstacle can be worth 2 points and have a halfway point, which must be clearly marked with a tape mark or other. Completion of halfway is worth 1 point.
Score is then determined by points gained, and time of full run. Points are the highest priority when determining final score with time being second priority. Most points, with fastest time wins. We no longer will offer a RETRY. Finish or fail an obstacle and move on to the next.
