I know what you’re thinking. “Why is there a Florida ninja league qualifier that isn’t in Florida? Well, the Florida Ninja League is all about building the ninja community, and Ultimate Backyard Warrior is regarded by many as the best community-building competition in the nation. It’s basically a family reunion with awesome obstacles. It is one of the must-go-to events in the ninja world, and many Florida ninjas will be there anyway, so it just seemed like the right thing to do.
Special rules for this competition:
The first stage will be what is looked at when determining the top 20%.
Qualifying spots to out of state ninjas are locked in at the top 20% and will not drop down in response to ninjas that are already qualified. EXAMPLE: If 200 ninjas compete, that means the top 40 will qualify for the state finals. If 6 of the top 40 ninjas are already qualified, then if ninjas 41 - 46 are from out of state, they will NOT have the qualifying status dropped down to them.
Other things to note about UBW:
There are ridiculous amounts of prize money involved. “Over $19,000 in prize money at stake including $5,000 for our up and coming "Pro-Kids!”! Go to UBW’s event page for the prize breakdown.
There is a special Ninja-ran church service on Sunday morning. The preaching, instruments, and singing will be performed by ninjas.
A special “beginner’s course” will also be made available to those who are just getting their feet wet into the ninja community.
