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).

Team Competition[]

Team Matt Team Akbar Team Kristine


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 tackled a few obstacles.
  • In Stage One, the team who completed the course (or made the furthest) in the fastest time automatically advanced to Stage Three, while the other two teams competed 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 advanced to Stage Three, while the loser was 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).

Each competitor received two attempts to perform the trick, with only the highest total score among those two attempts being counted as his score.
