The 10 contestants, from each of the 5 qualifying rounds, who make it the furthest the fastest, qualify for the semi-finals, where there are nine obstacles. The top 15 contestants qualify for the final, which is split into three parts. The first part features nine obstacles and is timed; the second part features five obstacles with a strict time limit, and then three untimed obstacles. Lastly, contestants must climb "Mount Midoriyama" with a 70 feet (21 m) rope.
