Intro
The 11th tournament, official name: SASUKE2003春 (literally SASUKE 2003 Spring) is the first tournament in 2003. Preliminary trials were held in Taiku Ookokuin the Monkey Bars event. This was the first time in which SASUKE Trials were held to send people to compete. The top three from the event got a chance to compete in SASUKE 11, most notably was second place finisher, Kobayashi Shinji.
The First Stage featured one new obstacle, the Balance Bridge, which only eliminated two competitors. The Rolling Maruta was also modified, which resulted in it being particularly ruthless in this tournament, eliminating over 40 competitors including ten straight competitors from #4 to #13. #95 to #100 all cleared the First Stage, including all of the SASUKE All-Stars (5 at the time and future SASUKE All-Star Shiratori Bunpei) for the first time in history. The results of the First Stage were greatly better than in SASUKE 10, with more than double the First Stage clears between the two tournaments. It was also the first time since Akiyama Kazuhiko's kanzenseiha, that there were double digit clears. 3.5 years after his kanzenseiha, Akiyama finally beat the First Stage, clearing with only 0.03 seconds left. He would eventually make it all the way to the Third Stage, before failing at the Body Prop. Also, for the first time since the Third Stage redesign in SASUKE 9, the Third Stage was cleared, this time by Nagano Makoto. This would be the first of three consecutive Final Stage attempts. Nagano started off strong on the Spider Climb, however once he reached the transfer too the rope,he wasted alot of time transferring and as such timed out 20m up the Tsuna Nobori, ending the tournament.
