Now Announcing: Ninja Warrior 6!

[HC12345]

Hey all,
I'm excited to announce the next event we'll be having on this server, Ninja Warrior 6!

What is Ninja Warrior?
Ninja Warrior was originally a Japanese show where contestants competed in a obstacle course for money and prizes. The 100 contestants of each tournament would try to get through 4 levels (stages) of obstacles under a strict time limit - if they fall anywhere once, they're out. All contestants begin in Stage 1, if they conquer that they will move on to Stage 2, then Stage 3, until if they complete Stage 4 they are deemed as a winner. The rules of this competition mean not every tournament results in a winner. Recently, the show received its American spin-off, American Ninja Warrior where it has gained huge popularity over recent months.

Tournament Format
Like the actual show, all participants will run Stage 1. Those who pass will run Stage 2, if they pass that they will run Stage 3, and so on.

Sign-up
Players who are interested can sign-up on this thread or be a walk-in on the day of the tournament. Walking in does not guarantee you a spot however, as walk-ins are only there to fill in any extra spots there are available. Signing up on this thread, however, will guarantee you a spot in the competition. It is your responsibility for you to show up at the tournament though.

Date and Time
Date: July 11th, 2015 (Saturday)
Time: 1pm EDT (UTC -4)

Converted into other major timezones....
10am PDT (UTC -7)
6pm BST (UTC +1)

Practice
The obstacle course itself will be opened for everyone to practice in. Feel free to go on the course for preparing for the tournament, or simply for fun. The warp to the course will be found at spawn.

Prizes
To be announced!

If there's any questions about Ninja Warrior feel free to ask on this thread or in game!

Otherwise, good luck, and have fun!

Still a work in progress, Stage 1 overview has been complete and the other stages will be finished soon.

 

[HC12345]

The course isn't open to all yet, but hopefully it will be soon!

 

[MeisterXehanort]

I'll try to compete but lag.

 

[corygolfanatic]

I'm 100% in

 

[theworst135]

could I please compete

 

[DistinctMadness]

You've managed to put both events on the 2 days I have to go in for my online health class. AKA the first and last days of the class.

 

[ElectroUnderwear]

Signing up, there's no way I'm missing another one.

[Pieceofcheese87]

I'll be there, but can't guarantee I will do well

 

[Alphaesia]

I will attempt to make it, but since it at 5 AM like usual, I might not.
1 or 2 hour later and I probably could.

 

[LordSpectilas]

Oh, I wish i could participate

 

[Bobtheblob]

[Zatharel]

I'll come to publicly embarrass myself.

 

[creeperTNTman198]

I should be able to make it

 

[rickyboy320]

I should be able to be online around that time

 

[chunkyboy12]

Haven't been on the server in ages, I will try to participate, but there's a chance i won't be on...

 

[YourDopeness]

count me in

 

[Zatharel]

Nevermind, I won't be able to make it.

 

[Alphaesia]

Got permission to wake up at 5am, just need to remember to set an alarm.

 

[HC12345]

We're pretty low on people still, spread the word guys.

If we hit 25 people I'll release an "Obstacle Spotlight" which describes each obstacle in detail and gives tips on how to beat it...which may help.
