2 weeks after the conclusion of the Minr Cup, I'm ready to announce the next event on the list, Ninja Warrior! Held approximately twice a year, we are now at our 14th competition. This summer's course features largely the same core obstacles as the winter competition, but with the difficulty on some of the stages fine tuned (hopefully Stage 1 is a little more toned down now). And did I mention we have a new timekeeping system on the course now? No more checkpoint signs!

Prize:
50$ cash prize. As a reminder, you only get a prize if you finish all 4 stages of the Ninja Warrior course. You don't get the prize for going the furthest.
New Players:
Ninja Warrior here is based off the TV show of the same name, where you compete on a 4-stage obstacle course, hoping to complete all 4 courses in succession, in time. The rules work exactly the same as in real life - you get one "life", and you lose if you fall in the water (or time out!). That's more or less it, it's pretty simple; hopefully you'll stop by and give it a shot!

FAQ:
How does the competition work on the day?
At the start of the event, everyone is given a random number (except the people who placed top 3 last competition), which determines the order in which they will run. Player #1 runs first, followed by #2, and so on. This will be rounded out by the top 3 performers last competition, who will have the honor (or pressure, whichever way you look at it) of running last in the whole group.
Will we be able to practice the obstacles beforehand?
Sadly, no. All obstacles in this Ninja Warrior course are very straightforward, and should not require any special explanation. That being said, I will do a demonstration run prior to the beginning of every stage to clear up any potential confusions players may have. I definitely encourage people to recreate these obstacles in singleplayer/elsewhere on the server, however. The course will be open for viewing 48 hours prior to the event start time.
What happens if I lag out during my run?
We've had this happen before (especially back in the days when the server was more unstable). This seems to be less of an issue now, but shall a claim be made that a player lagged/had "lagback" during his run, I will make a decision on a case-to-case basis. If it is determined that there was a case of lag during a player's run, leading to them failing the course, I will grant a re-run. I hold the final decision on any of these disputes.
