Looks like they really toned down the last region so they wouldn't have 40 wildcards in Vegas. Good to know next year if I have to walk-on again.

over 200 competitors and the easiest regional course (of any of them since ANW1 really, maybe even easier lol), this was intended *is sort of disappointed baltimore didn't have best results*

I heard the course was altered for the semis and less than 10 people cleared it.

You heard correctly. I believe the final clear count was 6.
They added a couple feet of separation between each transfers on the Delta Bridge, and a good 10 feet of distance to the Jump Hang's net.
Most competitors fell victim to the Salmon ladder/floating steps.

"Floating Steps" are those devil steps monkey bars after the SL I assume?

Wow, I guess that plan backfired. Now they'll have ~50 wildcards.

Assuming they still run 100 competitors in Vegas, they'll have 40 wildcards. Top 15 from each region still advanced, regardless of whether they fell or not--the rule was just that if MORE than 15 cleared the spider climb, they all went.

ANW staff really need to learn middle ground for difficulty... They either nerf make it overkill or nerf it... Since TBS doesn't want him back maybe higuchi could help design, he has the same analness about NDA that NBC does (lets ignore the fact he's been difficult to work with and no one wants to deal with him, sounds much like american TV to me *runs*)

6 clears is still way better than another region I'm thinking of...

Spoiler 6 clears is still way better than another region I'm thinking of... Do we know a rough estimate of the clears with all 4 regions combined?

4 - Venice 8 or 9 - Baltimore 8 or 9 - Miami 6 - Denver
Not dead-on numbers, rough estimates based on compiled information. Should be close to accurate though.

Yikes.. casting will have their hands full.. Btw. I'll save what I can find but seems TBS is going to be involved in ANW in some way. Will keep you guys posted (and will put in Vegas thread when I find out). I'm sure speculation can get out of hand on that. Those who follow me and Inui on twitter can see the conversation. NOTHING is announced yet and still in secret stage but he mentioned it's tied to ANW. Why Inui would mention ANW when he's Sasuke director (and he's already confirmed NBC is NOT Sending Americans to Sasuke Japan) makes me speculate they are coming here. To what extent I don't know yet and won't know until there's an official presser on it.

Again though, those numbers are the CLEARS, not the top 15 from each region. Top 15 from each region still advanced to Vegas.
