BTW more updates. The Semi-Finals courses had the same setup as their original runs (Although I already relayed the Cycling Road/Arm Bike thing), so Northeast had Jumping Bars again and Southeast had Swing Circle again. As for clears we can confirm Sean Morris, Sean M's friend who might be named Brian (my one source is unsure of his name), Flip did as well (Granted we saw a vid of his run but it's confirmed he made it to Vegas).
Before Semi's started G4 said the course was the same as when they ran qualifiers, so if any changes were made to any of the original obstacles were purely accidental on G4's behalf. (As I say ahead, the jumping bars were a killer, but g4 did not intentionally change the trampoline or the distance of the bars but one of my sources said the trampoline felt tight)
Apparently "nothing crazy really happened", Plenty of people failed the jump to the Jumping Bars, some couldn't get up the wall, and there was even at least one Bungee Bridge fail (Yes... In Semis)

Hahaha. YES, IN SEMIS. The Bungee Bridge is making itself known this time around, it seems. Maybe it's mad because no one failed it in Sasuke. Back with a vengeance!

Lol, first the Rope Junction and now the Bungee Bridge. I wonder if anyone failed Cycling Road or the Arm Bike. G4 is actually giving the joke obstacles functions, this is hilarious...

To be fair, I don't think the Arm Bike is a joke obstacle. I don't think it was meant to be failed. It's just there to suck your energy. Think Wall Lift.

I know that's why it's there, I'm just making a joke it'd be funny if someone did fail there. I don't really think it's a joke obstacle but it would be funny if someone failed

Sorry for double posting but it makes more sense to do that for info so people know it's new. For that one question, according to my other source he didn't see any female competitors get past the Log Grip.
For Southeast we can confirm the following people for vegas: David R (As we know), Drew (He didn't say which Drew but I assume Drechsel, if I'm wrong someone please correct me), and Sean (I assume M who has been confirmed), Aside from him being confirmed twice and us having a video, Flip had the best time in both Qualifiers and Semis and won $7500
For Northeast these people are confirmed for Vegas: Tim Schieff, Chris Wilczewski, Travis Graves, Danny Johnson, Dan Galizynski. Like Flip, Tim S had the best time in both rounds and also won $7500.
BTW for Northeast semis here's the breakdown, Steps: 2 fails Jump Hang: 1 fail Jump to first Jumping Bar: 13 fails Warped Wall: 6 fails Salmon Ladder: 3 fails Completed the course: 5 Clears
(Meaning the Bungee Bridge fail must have been a Southeast competitor)

James - more than 15 because people that completed it that didnt have a fast enough time got booted out of the top 15. I saw at least 3 people that beat the course not make it in so 18 or more people actually went through the entire course. A dramatic change from ANW 3 Id say lol.

I did not see him, which disappoints me because I wanted to debate training with him.

Shame... :/ Although why were you running in miami? Did you move? I thought you were from Colorado so shouldn't you have ran in Dallas?

He asked well before LA was even booked if he could be moved because of Finals and they accommodated him at the last minute. For a while we all thought he wasn't going to be able to run at all due to the schedule but in the end they let him run in Miami which fell during Spring break.

Not sure if I got my answer via twitter or not, Lord knows I talk to you via PM I mean in general I try to contact people directly. Not just Chris. That way I get less rumor and more fact.. besides.. I cheer for SMF people Sometimes I get my answers sometimes not.
