Scoring system solution for team ninja warrior:
Each person who runs can score 1 point for each obstacle they complete ahead of the other person.
IE, both people finish one hits buzzer other still on the warped wall 1 point, if that person did not complete the obstacle before the warped wall when they hit the buzzer 2 points etc etc.
Makes each person able to contribute to the team and you see the TEAM score rather than 1 person and also makes everyone running count and still have possibility for tie breakers.
Interesting. I think that could work, but you’d have to put a limit of some kind for those that fall early in the course. Otherwise there could be some pretty impossible odds to overcome. Maybe 3 points for a fall?
Thanks for the comment. It’s definitely one of the more interesting topics around Team Ninja Warrior and everyone has their ideas for a solution.
