I decided to make a separate thread to list the competiors who will be in the national finals to so we can have them all in one place. The information would have come either from the discussion threads or have been revealed to me personally. I will edit this post over time if more information becomes available. The information could also be inaccurate so be aware of that. Also after this post I will no longer have the ranking of Wakky which makes me sad because he is one of my favorite Sasuke comedians. Venice
Nicholas Coolridge (only finisher in the Venice finals) David Campbell Kevin Bull Alvaro Campos Jessie Graff Dustin Rocho Ben Melick
note: 10 people made it past the hourglass drop with the fastest 5 people who failed their also made it to Vegas both Alan Connealy and Travis Weinland made it to the hour glass but I am unsure if they were fast enough.
Houston Jermey Morgan (fastetest time clear) Sam Sann (clear) Daniel Gil Tremayn Dorthch Karsten Williams Brent Steffensen
Kansas City Lance Pekus (clear) Ian Dory (clear) note: Both Issac and Brian got to the ninth obstacle but so did all lot of people so I don't if that was fast enough. Orlando James McGrath (clear fastest time) Adam Arnold (clear) Drew Drechsel Flip Rodriguez Travis Rosen Pittsburgh Geoff Britten (clear fastest time) Joe Moravsky (clear) Jamie Rahn Mike Bernado Elet Hall

Geoff Britten and Joe Moravsky cleared, Jamie Rahn was the only other to make it to the Invisible Ladder, Mike Bernardo, Sean Darling Hammond and Mike Myers were the only others to make it to Doorknob Arch, not quite sure the times of everyone else to make it to Floating Monkey Bars
EDIT: looked at my notes, I realized when I posted this I missed Elet Hall made it to Doorknob Arch as well

Because if she didn't get a wild card, the ratings would plummet down?

Alright guys, I've decided to create a self made ANW power rankings going into Mt. Midoriyama this year. I'm going to rank the Top 50 contenders based on their performance, and how I think the show is editing them.
1. Geoff Britten: He wowed more than anyone in the city finals. If he makes Stage 3 he'll crush it. Also more prominent on TV after finals were filmed. 2. Nicholas Coolridge: Easily the best/most natural rookie on the course so far. Has all the tools to go far at Mt. Midoriyama. 3. Joe Moravsky: If you wanted to bet money on someone making it to stage 3, choose Joe Moravsky. 4. Elet Hall: Proved last year he's got upper body strength as well. Very consistent and always lives up to his name 'The Natural'. 5. Dustin McKinney: This may be his last chance and he seems to want it more than almost anyone. Proved he's a top competitor in city finals. 6. Brian Arnold: The fast forward and fall on the body prop hurt his chances a bit but he's still got to be near the top of any list. 7. James McGrath: More focused on total victory than anyone. 5th straight year in the finals and easily had the best Orlando finals run. 8. Isaac Caldiero: Likely more qualified to clear Stage 3 than anyone. If he gets there move him up this list. 9. Jeremiah Morgan: If his focus is there he'll go far. Flies through obstacles with the best. 10. Kevin Bull: Proved last year was no fluke and is looking like a top competitor. Being a fan favorite never hurts as well. 11. Ahmed Toure: Has skills that no one else in the field has. Always calm on any obstacle. 12. Drew Drechsel: Broke out in Japan last year and looks ready to be a competitor who consistently makes it to Stage 3. 13. Travis Rosen: Despite his age is always extremely consistent when other top competitors aren't. 5th straight year in the finals. 14. Brent Steffensen: Looks ready to make a comeback and always crushes Stage 1. 15. Lance Pekus: Easily his best year yet. Ready to join the elite group of ninjas. 16. Ryan Stratis: Has passion like nobody else. Very experienced on the course and if it all comes together could go very deep in the competition. 17. Daniel Gil: Looks like a veteran when on the course. We'll see if he's the best rookie this year when all is said and done. 18. Sam Sann: Killed the city finals and now possibly a serious contender. Trampolines are the only question mark for him. 19. Jamie Rahn: Can compete at the highest level and has one of the strongest grips in the sport. 20. Paul Kasemir: 'Mr.Consistency' always lives up to his name, however edited less prominently year after year. 21. Ian Dory: Least known member of the wolfpack is also the most consistent and the only member to finish the city finals. 22. Adam Arnold: Flew up the invisible ladder better than anyone. Might be the most determined walk-on this year. 23. Matthew Jensen: Has no fear and was the best rookie in the military region. Quietly one of this season's best rookies. 24. Lorin Ball: Known for speed and not strength. Good bet to clear Stage 1 but not much further. 25. Dustin Rocho: Been one of the best in Venice for years. A very quietly consistent competitor who has what it takes to break out of Stage 1. 26. Flip Rodriguez: One of the most talented runners but his head game is always a question. 27. David Campbell: 'The Godfather' hasn't looked comfortable on Stage 1 recently but if you put him on Stage 3 i'd say he'll crush it. 28. Brendan Couvreux: Came out of nowhere to be top KC rookie. Has strength for hours but different Warped Wall a question mark in Vegas. 29. Mike Bernardo: Looks like he may finally break out this year and reach the level of his comrades. 30. Josh Cook: Not too well known but has made it to Stage 2 the last two years so he's got to be somewhere on this list. 31. Robin Pietschmann: One of the stars in the military region and has slowly gotten better and better each year. 32. Tremayne Dortch: Would be a real feel good moment if he clears Stage 1 on the fourth try and this looks like his year to do it. 33. Adam Grossman: Rarely gets shown but is one of 9 competitors to make finals 4 years in a row. 34. Brian Wilczewski: Double fast forwarded so far but look for Brian to correct his previous Stage 1 errors. 35. Alvaro Campos: Made it to the 9th obstacle on a very tough Venice course. One of Venice's top rookies. 36. JJ Woods: More consistent than Flip but also likely has a lower ceiling than Flip. 37. Jeremy Prather: Proved he's a serious competitor in city finals. Someone to watch from the Military region. 38. Neil Craver: Became an instantly well known competitor with his city finals run. One of the pleasant surprises in Orlando. 39. Abel Gonzalez: One of the best and most underrated from last year's rookie class. Has the ability to surprise people with his consistent runs. 40. Justin Gielski: One of the military regions strongest rookies. Can go a lot farther than many initially thought. 41. Karsten Williams: Two fantastic city finals performances in a row. Ready to take that success to Vegas. 42. Grant McCartney: One of the most likeable rookies in years. Has unexpectedly been one of Venice's very best this year. 43. Mike Meyers: Very unknown but two fantastic runs in a deeply talented Pittsburgh region. 44. Chris Moore: Another strong 40+ competitor who can muscle through some very troubling obstacles. 45. JoJo Bynum: Often forgotten but was one of only 3 rookies to make it to Stage 2 last year. Can prove consistency if he does it again this year. 46. Brandon Mears: Had the best opening run to a city finals I've seen in a while. 47. Kevin Klein: Can power through early obstacles with the best. We'll see how many he gets through in Vegas. 48. Geoff Lancaster: Has speed and is quietly becoming one of Houston's more consistent competitors. What's his ceiling though? 49. Ben Melick: Innovative and naturally talented, 'Tarzan' proved he could be a long term ANW competitor. 50. Jessie Graff: Easily the most consistent women on the show and the one I think with the best chance to clear Stage 1.
Feel free to debate over these rankings. Anybody you think I missed? Or anyone that should be higher or lower?

Let's just change the term wild card to wild women. That made me laugh but they sprinkle them in for ratings since only one qualified in the cities. The name of the game is ratings because it equals $$$$ at the end of the day it is all about the Benjamin

Slightly better quality of the 100 from tonight's "Best Runs" special. You can make out more faces, or use it as a wallpaper. {100} The 10 women wildcards mentioned during tonight's episode are Rose Wetzel - Houston Cassie Craig - Kansas City Marybeth Wang - Orlando Tory Garcia - Military Caitlin Shukwit - Kansas City Annie Dudek - Kansas City Asya Grechka - Orlando {plus last year's Mighty 3 and a shot of them standing together with arms folded on top of the wall} Attachment DeletedJessie Graff, the only woman to qualify, was featured as Top Run #3 near the end of the episode. Some stats from the episode Over 40,000 applicants 725 competitors with 470 of them being rookies Only 6 walk-ons going to Vegas. 22 new obstacles (I don't think it includes Vegas, unless someone wants to check) Each city had an obstacle that took out at least 57% of competitors who attempted that obstacle.

I swear they also said that 70 year old from the military region also got a wildcard, I may have misheard though
