Ninja World Cup Preview Event
Canlan Sports Complex
Lake Barrington, IL
August 12th – 14th
The NinjaUSA World Cup Invitational and Demo Event will be a chance to run the actual course being used at the Ninja World Cup & US National Championships in October.
Given the significant demand for athletes, we have modified the schedule to accommodate a larger number of competitors.
This event is expected to bring many of the best ninja pros and juniors from around the country as this is the only chance to try the course before the competition in October.
Details of the event are below.

Format:
The format will now be a 100M ninja vs ninja speed course with each athlete getting two runs and keeping their best time. Run order will be randomized.
Winning the match does not count towards qualifying for the top 16 Male and top 16 female which will be identified by time alone. The top 16 will run the same course in a double elimination ninja vs ninja bracket style finals which will determine our placements.
The 12-14 yo will follow the same format, however, there will be some slight modifications to the adult course. The 9-11yo will follow the same format, however, there will be some slight modifications to the 12-14yo course.
