You can only change divisions between your age division and Elite, and points already

earned won't transfer, but they do stay with each athlete, so you can always switch back.
Example: an 11yo athlete decides to compete in the Elite division in the first comp, and it ends up being more than they bargained for - They can switch divisions to compete in 11-12 division at future comps, but will start with 0 points towards qualifying for Finals in that 13-14 division.

12 points total are needed to qualify for the finals at Traverse:​

Competitors don't need to compete at every tournament, but each competitor will need to score 12 points to qualify for the Finals at Traverse. Each competition will have two obstacle courses with an individual time limit. Each course has 6 obstacles, and athletes will score one point for every completed obstacle. There is no limit to falls - if you fall, keep going until you have attempted every obstacle or run out of time. This is why our BANL comps are such a hit with new ninjas! It is possible to score all 12 points in a single qualifier, with two perfect runs on two obstacle courses. However, this is as challenging as it sounds, so if your athlete dreams of competing in the Finals at Traverse, we recommend planning to compete at least twice.
