Fans gave the Qualifying obstacles top-notch grades

The grades continue to roll in and the American Ninja Warrior courses continue to rake in some pretty darn good scores.

Recently, we graded the National Finals courses using our readers’ feedback.

• Stage One scored a B+.
• Stage Two received a B+.
• Stage Three received an A-.
• Stage four nabbed an A- as well.

Next, we asked everyone to grade each of the obstacles we saw during the season 13 Qualifiers. There were 18 obstacles in total. After about a week of polling, we have now pulled together the final scores.

Remember, we alter the grades slightly based on the results: “If the percentage of votes above the winning grade outweighed the percentage of votes below the winning wage, the grade was adjusted to a plus. If the opposite was true, the grade was adjusted to a minus.”

For example, the winning grade for Overpass was an A. 45% of the votes went to A. That means 55% of the votes went to B, C, D, or F. Basically, more people would have given it a lower grade, so we settled on A-.

One thing is very clear from the results. Fans like these obstacles. The grades did not dip below B-. The Qualifying obstacles all together scored one more A-.

Here’s the full breakdown of the results.
