Split-stage Format

Split-stage Format is a variation of the First Stage, which was firstly introduced on the first season of SASUKE Vietnam. This concept can be traced to Crossroads, a notable VIKING obstacle and this concept has been used in multiple international Ninja Warrior formats such as Ninja Israel, Ninja Warrior France and American Ninja Warrior (with the name Split Decision).

This format would appear on the First Stage, in which the course was split to Stage 1A part and Stage 1B part starting from the third obstacle to the final obstacle.
