Grade the Qualifying obstacles

What did you think of the 18 obstacles used during the Qualifiers?

Elizabeth Morris/NBC

The fans gave the obstacles of the American Ninja Warrior National Finals some very solid grades. Can the Qualifying obstacles fare as well under scrutiny?

The five different courses of the season 13 Qualifiers featured 18 obstacles arranged in various ways. What did you think of them?

When we looked back at the National Finals, our goal was to create an overall score for the course. Since the Qualifiers re-used obstacles, we want you to look at each one individually. Then the Qualifiers as a whole will receive a grade. If you need a refresher on the obstacles, take a look back at our coverage of the Qualifiers.

Okay! Let’s grade some obstacles!
