This should be moved to the General ANW Thread.

Speaking of which, here's a live stream of the Columbus qualifier:

[ninjapodcast]

As a shameless self-promotion, we've been following it every week on the Armchair Ninja Podcast (ninjapodcast.com).

Or you can go right to the source, which is Chris Wilczewkski's youtube channel - www.youtube.com/channel/UCXfFEWo0W10bBm0pmrG54nA.

Btw I finally put up the video I referenced on the podcast of the tour of the facilities where the finals will be held (in February). I may (not sure) end up going to the finals in February.. kinda depends on a bunch of things. Anyone from SMF going?

[thatoneuser]

I will be there and live streaming as well!

[arsenette]

LOL It will probably be an SMF get together.

To be honest, I don't think either of them will be there. It's not like we don't have plenty of other things we can co-commentate on

I would think I don't really have a way to get to New Jersey for something like this and would save my money for when the actual ANW rolls around

I'd offer to drive you again, but I'll probably be freeloading a ride myself!

[arsenette]

Barring disaster we are set to go this weekend. I'll be there with hubby and William is driving down for it as well. We're planning on doing a report for the podcast.

[Ben Baker]

Can someone kinda go into detail of what the NNL is and how it works? I mean I know it's ninja competition but how does the tournaments and standing work? And really what is it????lol

This weekend are the Finals. That is after weeks of individual competitions across many gyms that participated. Here is the list of the competitors competing this weekend. It's over 180 starts and a who's who of Ninja Warrior past, present and future. It's going to be gnarly. ♥

[arsenette]

I'm heading there today. I hope to get some videos out. I know William will get some as well. I'll try to tweet all day as well to the best of my ability. My goal is to survive the marathon. LOL

[Amber]

I probably missed this in this thread, but what time does the competition start?

It's live right here: 

[arsenette]

Finals are today! Starts again in a couple hours - 11 AM EST!!

Blog is up for a quick update on Day 1. I'll do more stuff later when brain isn't dead and body doesn't feel like it got run over by a Mac Truck..

[arsenette]

Best photobomb ever.. LOL I had no idea Geoff ran behind me! LOL!!!! I'm so tired... and I hope this stupid medication works.. my damn weight is so high.. gah.. damn thyroid..

Awesome 2 day competition. I'll get a full blog out on Days 1 and 2. I did a quickie Day 1 when I got in late Sunday morning - www.ramblingrican.com/2016/02/national-ninja-league-quick-update.html
There were over 170 starts (a few were MIA) and only 22 cleared the First Stage. Official full results I expect at some point to be updated on the official site. I'm going off my notes so they are not official. I double checked video to hear names and placements so apologies if I screwed it up.

Second Stage out of the 22 only 7 cleared.
Out of the fails only 2 got to the last obstacle. Most were taken out earlier by the 2nd obstacle the Double Salmon ladder.

The 7 in the Third Stage:
Viktor Bohorquez
Jo Jo Bynum
Michael Torres
Geoff Britten
Joe Moravsky
Josh Cook
Drew Dreschel

Third (and Final) Stage none of the 7 cleared. Each run was timed so that each person know how fast the previous person cleared specific obstacles. The obstacle everyone got to was the Cliffhanger so speed to the Cliffhanger was ultimately what took ranked each of the guys. Geoff Britten was the furthest being the only man to even attempt the Flying Bar. Most were taken out by the Cliffhanger.

Final Standings for the Men were: (edited - mistake during the ceremony - Notes below)
Geoff Britten (1st)
Drew Drewschel (2nd)
Josh Cook (3rd)
Jo Jo Bynam

Ladies: (From the First Stage since no female cleared the course)
Jesse LeBreck (1st) - The only woman to get to the last obstacle - Hourglass Drop
Allyssa Beird (2nd)
Jeri D'Aurelio (3rd)

Great to see you all there! Sorry we had to leave so quick - had to pick up the lil one =)

One small note, Drew actually came in second and Josh cook was third, sadly bumping JoJO to 4th. There was a slight error at the ceremony! Whoops!

I thought so! It didn't make sense since he was at the Rock Problem! Thanks a bunch. ♥

And no worries. You were very generous with your time and were really happy you posed for everyone's photos! I'm just happy you got to hoist the trophy. Love the fact that your name (along with Jesse) will permanently be on the trophy.
