American Ninja Warrior: All Stars Special 4

American Ninja Warrior: All Stars Special 4 was the fourth installment of American Ninja Warrior's post-season tournament, which was recorded after American Ninja Warrior 10's season finale, and premiered on May 26th, 2019 (3 days before American Ninja Warrior 11's season premiere).

Competition Format
The competition worked as followed:
 * The stages used were Stage One, Stage Two, and Stage Three.
 * The competition worked in a relay fashion (similar to Team Ninja Warrior's Relay Showdown round), with each member of the three teams would tackle a few obstacles.
 * In Stage One, the team who completed the course (or made the furthest) in the fastest time would automatically move on to Stage Three, while the other two teams would compete against each other in Stage Two to earn the last spot in Stage Three.
 * In Stage Two, the team who completed the course (or made the furthest) in the fastest time would move on to Stage Three, while the loser would be eliminated from the competition.
 * In Stage Three, the two winning teams (each from Stage One and Stage Two) would compete against each other. However, on this season's team competition, there were several changes:
 * If the competitor in each team failed to complete any obstacle in his/her leg, then the next competitor would automatically continue the relay (except for the third competitor).
 * The team who completed the most number of obstacles in the fastest time would be the champion.
 * There was no time limit to complete the stages (Stage One, Stage Two, and Stage Three).

The competition continued until only one competitor could clear the required distance in any round or the remaining competitors in any round failed to clear the required distance.

In each of the first 4 heats, the competitor who completed the obstacle (or made the furthest) in the fastest time would move on to the semifinal heats (running in 2 heats), with the winning competitor from each semifinal heat would move on to the final heat.

The obstacle consisted of a supersized version of the Salmon Ladder, with 35 rungs and about 4 stories (13.2 meters) in height.

Each competitor would start at the third rung and tried to reach the highest rung as possible. Whoever reached the highest rung, he would be the champion. However, if there were at least 2 competitors who could reach the highest rung, the competitor who reached it in the fastest time would be the champion.

Big Dipper Freestyle
The obstacle consisted of a Big Dipper, which was held at the same place as the Double Dipper in Stage One.

After releasing from the bar, each competitor must perform a free-diving trick into the water. Then, each of the judges (consisted of Matt, Akbar, and Kristine) would give a score for him. Each competitor would receive 2 attempts to perform the trick, with only the highest total score among those 2 attempts would be counted as his score. The competitor who received the highest score would be the champion. If there were at least 2 competitors who got the same highest score, those competitors would compete in a dive-off, with the competitor who received the highest score would be the champion.
