The Ninja Speed Competition is a 2-lane, 100m course with 10 obstacles provided by The ATS Team, an LA-based set shop and production company, best known as the designer and builder of obstacles and courses for the Ninja Warrior television show franchise worldwide.
The fastest sixteen athletes in each category in the heats qualify for the quarter-finals. The fastest eight athletes qualify for the semifinals. The fastest four athletes in each category from the semifinals qualify for the finals.
Heats are run on two parallel single lanes for time and are not head-to-head races. Quarter finals through finals are head-to-head tournament style races for each category: a gold medal final (for 1st/Gold and 2nd /Silver) and a bronze medal final (for 3rd/Bronze & 4th.) The finals are the first to hit the button in each race. They are not for time, so the athletes in the bronze medal race cannot beat those in the Gold medal race.
USANA decides on the qualification criteria for para (adaptive) athletes and may opt for a qualification-based system or direct selection. Para Athletes race in Para categories, not age categories.
Age Categories follow international sport practice and span multiple age groups. Age categories are Kids (up to 10) Youth (11 to 14), Junior (15 to 19), Senior (20 to 39), Masters (40 to 49), Grand Masters (50 to 59), Veteran (60 and over) and adaptive (Para).
Age groups, if used, are 2-years for Kids, Youth, Junior and Veteran and 5-years for Senior and Master, for example Youth 13/14, Senior 30-34, Masters 55-59, and Veteran 60/61.
The age definition for Kids, Youth, and Veteran athletes is the age of the athlete on race day. The age definition for Junior, Senior, and Masters athletes is the age you are on December 31st, in the year of competition, following international sport convention and rules.
Example: An athlete who is 15 years old on race day but turns 16 on or before December 31 will race in the Youth 14/15 category.
