Split Decision

American Ninja Warrior 13's Split Decision in Qualifiers Episode 1

The Split Decision is an obstacle, firstly introduced on American Ninja Warrior 13.

In essence, this obstacle is a point on the course where they will have to pick between two different obstacles. This concept can be traced to Crossroads, a notable VIKING obstacle and this concept has been used in multiple international Ninja Warrior formats such as Ninja Israel and Ninja Warrior France.

This format would appear on both Qualifying and Semifinals courses:

• In qualifying, the Split Decision will occur on the third obstacle, in which competitors must choose between two different balance type obstacles in order to advance.
• In semifinals, the Split Decision will occur on the ninth obstacle, giving competitors the opportunity to choose between an upper-body intensive obstacle or a heavily modified balance-type obstacle.
