Well everyone should keep us posted, we totally need to have a SMF group hangout at ANW I'll be at a safe distance from you, just in case. To be fair I wasn't including you in that post anyways

I'm not (despite living somewhat close, for someone without a license it's not practical to go to see construction) but keep us posted if you find anything out.

Just got my call and official invite, am so psyched! They just began calls a couple of hours ago. Usually it takes them a few days, so be patient! Good luck to everyone here looking to compete in Baltimore, please come over to say hi if/when you see me! americanninjawarrior.com/american-ninja-warrior-5-here-i-come/

I forget if I mentioned it but a good point of reference to where in the Inner Harbor Rash Field is in case you don't know. It's by the Maryland Science Center if you know where that is, I don't want anyone getting lost and ending up at the aquarium or something Also... What time is everyone going to be getting there anyways?

It sounds like we need to be there about 24 hours ahead of time if we don't get called and need to walk on?

I'm thinking about going. I'm not gonna run, but it would be cool to see the course in action.

I saw a few Illinois people on facebook say they got calls yesterday. I imagine that's not boding well for me (who also lives in IL and hasn't received a call).
I'd really hate to burn a few vacation days and a few hundred bucks to head out there for the "chance" to walk-on. :/

Must be nice to be one of the first people they call lol...talk about an ego booster I won't lie, it was very nice. Particularly after not getting a call at all last year and having to walk on. With that experience last year and my neurosis about the increased number of submissions from having gone to NBC (and fewer run spots available), I'm very glad to have gotten called early and not to have had to sit around worrying extra long. Now I can start worrying about the course itself!

Matt, you're an inspiration to those of us who have kids and dreams of running the course.

I'm from Michigan and heard yesterday some guy in Michigan and Ohio got a call so I'm starting to plan on being a walk-on unless they call people back based on when they turn in their application because I turned it in 4 days before the deadline??

I think you guys are freaking out way too much over the order. Maybe there's no order at all?...

Sabrina pretty much confirmed on the Ninja Warrior Comrades facebook page that they were calling people based on their distance to the city proxy. The further you are, the earlier you get a call. A guy said that was his suspicion and she commented saying, "You are smart ". While it may not be an exact science, it's a good rule of thumb that if you are far from Baltimore and haven't gotten a call, chances are you won't.

I don't think it's time to start worrying until the people who are much closer get a call, if some illinois and michigan and ohio people are getting calls at this point there's still a chance, when people from dc and baltimore start getting calls that's when things are looking bad
