Team Ninja Warrior 2

Team Ninja Warrior 2 was the second season of Team Ninja Warrior, produced by Esquire Network, and premiered on April 18th, 2017 at USA Network.

Teams
There were 28 teams competing for this season. Each team had a captain, and consisted of two male competitors and a female competitor. Several new competitors replaced the previous member(s) of the same team from the previous season. Also, some new teams appeared.

Competition Format
In general, there were 3 rounds used in each episode of Team Ninja Warrior 2:
 * Round One
 * There were 2 matchups, with 2 teams in each matchup.
 * Each matchup consisted of 3 heats, where 2 competitors (one competitor from each team) would race side-by-side on a series of obstacles.
 * The running order for each heat was decided by the captains of each team, with female competitors were required to face each other in the same heat.
 * In each heat, the competitor who completed the course (or made the furthest, in case of no competitor could complete the course) in the fastest time would receive points for his/her respective team: 1 point in the first two heats and 2 points in the third heat (also known as the anchor run).
 * The team who cumulated the most points would win the matchup and face the losing team from another matchup in Round Two (Knockout Round).
 * If there was a tie, a sudden death race was held to decide the winner, with each team must select one of their member to run the course. The competitor who won the sudden death race would win the matchup for his/her respective team.
 * Round Two (Knockout Round)
 * The competition worked the same as in Round One, with the team who won the first matchup in Round One would face the team who lost the second matchup in Round One, and vice versa.
 * This time, the 2 teams who cumulated the most points in each matchup would win the matchup and advance to Relay Showdown, while the 2 losing teams would be eliminated from the competition.
 * Relay Showdown
 * The two winning teams from Round Two (Knockout Round) would face each other in a relay run on an extended course.
 * Each competitor from each team must run on the course, and each competitor will face three obstacles each. The order of the competitors is the choice of the captains.
 * If a competitor failed on any obstacle, his/her respective team would receive a ten-second penalty to the next competitor, starting the moment the opposing competitor was tagged (except at the third competitor, in which if he/she failed on any obstacle, his/her team's run would automatically over).
 * If there was one competitor from each team who failed on the same obstacle, the next competitor from each team would automatically run the obstacle (with a five-second countdown at the start).
 * The team who won the Relay Showdown would advance to the finals (Wildcard Showdown during the wildcard round or Championship Relay during the finals), while the losing team would be eliminated from the competition.

The competition run for a total of 11 episodes, with the first 7 episodes being served as the qualifying round, the next 2 episodes being served as the wildcard round, and the last 2 episodes being served as the finals. The 7 teams who lost in Relay Showdown from each qualifying round episode, along with 1 best losing team during qualifying round's first two rounds, would compete in the wildcard round. In the final episode (Episode 9) of the wildcard round, the 2 winning teams from the wildcard round's Relay Showdown would advance to Wildcard Showdown (worked the same as Relay Showdown), with the winning team would advance to the finals. Then, the 7 winning teams from each qualifying round episode, along with 1 winning team from the wildcard round would compete in the finals. In the final episode (Episode 11) of the finals, the 2 winning teams from the finals' Relay Showdown would advance to Championship Relay (worked the same as Relay Showdown), with the winning team would be the champion of Team Ninja Warrior 2.

Also, unlike on American Ninja Warrior, competitors were allowed to touch the water on Team Ninja Warrior, as long as competitors didn't lose the grip on the obstacle entirely.
