I agree a pretty week episode. The scores I cam up with support that. I posted this over at Sasuke Maniac forums. I think it would make the episodes more exciting.
Team Ninja Warrior Alternate Scoring System
1 point for each obstacle completed
2 points for winning heat on the course (no buzzer)
3 points for winning the heat by completing course first (buzzer)
Points are earned by ninjas for each completed obstacle regardless of whether they win the heat. Points are tallied for each team, The team with the most points after the 3rd heat is the winner of the match. There are no sudden death run offs. The team that wins the most heats wins the round. The winner of the first round match runs against the loser of the second match and vice versa. The two teams with the most points after the second round proceed to the relay.
Tie breaking hierarchy after two rounds:
Most matches won
Most heats won (including buzzers)
Most buzzers
Most obstacles cleared
Head to head run-off (no points awarded)
Points are awarded in the relay in the same manner as in the qualifying matches. These points are added to the team’s total. The winner of the relay proceeds to the finals regardless of the number of points at the end of the episode. At the end of the season the total points are used to determine the wildcards (if any) and seeding in the finals
