Obstacle Sports Expo Schedule
UNAA is excited to release the preliminary schedule for the Season 10 World Finals!
UNAA and FINA have worked closely together to ensure a schedule that allows eligible athletes to compete in as many events as possible. We hope you plan to attend for all 3 days as there will be so much action to watch and ninjas to cheer on! Please review all the information below and be on the lookout for more information to come.
- All eligible athletes can participate in all FINA and UNAA events. FINA run orders for Finals events will be released before UNAA Prelim Wave Selection sign-ups open to ensure athletes can best plan for their OSE events. We will provide a guideline for which UNAA Prelim wave(s) multi-event athletes should avoid if possible.
- We understand that some conflicts may arise with athletes participating in multiple events, and that some of those conflicts will be unknown until UNAA Prelim results and FINA Ninja vs Ninja Top 16 results are finalized.
- Any conflicts between UNAA FINALS runs and FINA events should be addressed with FINA at the OSE. Any conflicts between FINA Ninja vs. Ninja FINALS (Top 16) and UNAA Prelims should be addressed with UNAA at the OSE. More information will come on the process for raising and addressing those conflicts at OSE.
- Conflicts resulting from UNAA Prelims and FINA Speed runs, Endurance runs, or Ninja vs. Ninja Prelims can be addressed as needed once the UNAA Wave Selections and run orders, and FINA Wave assignments and run orders have been released. These conflicts must be addressed BEFORE the OSE event begins. An 'OSE Run Conflict' submittal form will be provided after run orders are released for any requests that need to be made.
Potential conflict between the FINA Ninja vs. Ninja Finals for 9U and the UNAA Open Kids Finals has been noted and will be addressed once registration has been finalized.
Note: This schedule is tentative and subject to change based on registration numbers. Start and end times each day are estimates, and not guaranteed. Please plan your travel accordingly.
