ABOUT US

We are striving to promote local athletes in the region (IA, MN, WI, NE, SD & ND) by providing a competition exclusive to residents of those states. Our different brackets allow you a more accurate placement in the region!


SEASON 3 will have ~$10,000 in total series prizes! 

As part of this prize money, each Qualifier gym will be giving away $700+ in prizes and/or cash. Each gym owner may decide how to allocate prizes.


The finals event will have prizes and money. All you need to do is compete in one of our qualifiers this season to see if you have what it takes to make it to the finals.


We want to crown the Regional Champions!

PARTICIPATING GYMS

Ninjas United (MN)

Emerge Academy (IA)

605 Ninja (SD)

Four Star Ninja Academy (ND)


Residents of one state can compete in another as long as they live in one of the 6 states within the region. For example: Iowans can compete in Minnesota. 


With 4 of the 6 states being represented, residents from all  states can still compete in NCNS. For example, Wisconsin athletes can compete even though no current gym in that state is hosting a qualifier.

OPTIONAL YOUTH PROS: 

This year we are testing out a concept where we are allowing all youth athletes who are at least 12 years old to have the option of competing in the Pro course bracket. Here is a breakdown of what that means:

- This is 100% optional.

- Youth 12+ will be allowed to compete in the adult pro course, against adult pro athletes.

- Prizes will only be awarded based off overall performance in the pro bracket (top 3). 

- We will recognize the top 3 youth competing pro, regardless of where they placed against the adults (no prize).

- There is no changing brackets. Athletes either start and finish in their age bracket or start and finish in the pro bracket.


Masters 40+ may contain 'pro' athletes



QUALIFYING DETAILS

Determining The Finals Run Order and Point Awards

Determining The Finals Run Order and Point Awards

 The top 3 finishers of each bracket, regardless of how many are in each bracket, will receive a guaranteed pass to the finals in December. The other competitors (4th place and down) will be ranked against all the other competitors from each different NCNS qualifier. In November, we will list the competitors that ranked high enough throughout the competitive series to get their pass to the December finals. Your chances are very high that you’ll qualify for finals when all qualifier events have finished and we compare the results.


EXAMPLE: Jon Doe places 5th in his 6-7 boys bracket and so he does not receive a guaranteed pass. However, he did very well against amazing kids his age. He waits until all the other qualifiers are done for the season. He learns his performance is good enough among all the other qualifying events that he receives a second chance to compete in our (NCNS) finals!


This method of qualifying allows for the pressure of trying for the guaranteed pass, and takes into account that some qualifiers will have much more experienced athletes in some brackets. We really want to highlight the best talent in the entire North Central region. We feel this works to balance out any inconsistencies from qualifier to qualifier.

Determining The Finals Run Order and Point Awards

Determining The Finals Run Order and Point Awards

 To keep competitor run order for The Series Finals fair and clear, we are establishing a point-total advantage. Those that accumulate the most points from NCNS qualifiers will run last for their finals bracket in December. It is advantageous then for competitors to participate in as many NCNS qualifiers as possible.


Example: Athlete A goes to three different qualifiers and amasses a total of 100pts from all three. Now, Athlete B goes to one qualifier and earns 40pts, but does not attend more NCNS qualifiers. At the finals event in December, Athlete A will have the advantage and go after Athlete B in run order.


We want to grow the community, this allows for that as well as makes the finals run order fair.


Lastly, those that have the highest Series points will receive a Series prize. We are allocating roughly $(coming soon) of the total prize winnings for Series prizes to the top 30-50 athletes. Go to multiple events, and gain bonus points!


Please schedule all your qualifiers!
