Lance Tarvend's Jumping Spider Disqualification

Lance Tarvend's Jumping Spider Disqualification is a disqualification that occurred during SASUKE 18's First Stage, where Lance Tarvend was disqualified by hitting the mat in front of the trampoline on Jumping Spider.

This tournament feature the biggest renewal on the course due to Nagano Makoto's Kanzenseiha in the previous tournament. One of the effect is the introduction of a new obstacle called Jumping Spider, in which competitors had to clear it by jumping from a trampoline to stick between two walls, before traversing it in a similar fashion to Spider Walk.

Lance's First Attempt
Lance was the first competitor to clear Jumping Spider that day, before later timing out on Great Wall. However, it was ruled that he went off the course on Jumping Spider and he was disqualified. It was discovered that the disqualification comes from that he hit the mat in front of the trampoline. Lance, however, claimed that he didn't know that this was illegal and since he was among the first competitors to attempt the obstacle, he was then granted a chance to re-attempt First Stage.

Lance's Second Attempt
On his second run, however, he went shorter, failing at Log Grip, which he had cleared previously. His run in the broadcast also digested as well, probably to hide the fact that this is his second run.

Ultimately, the judge ruled that Lance's second run would be the official result, ignoring his original run, which is better.
