NINJA BELTS
Your captain will be awarding Ninja belt levels based on your accumulated Ninja points. Ninja points are earned by each Navy Ninja for completing challenges, posting meaningful posts on the team thread, and for losing weight or maintaining a weight loss. There will also be random bonus Ninja points available throughout the round. Can you earn your black belt or beyond by the time the BLC round ends?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Your Responsibility
Most weeks, you will have a Weekend Challenge (WEC) every Friday through Monday as well as a Last Chance Workout (LCW) challenge on Mondays or Tuesdays and a midweek challenge (TNT) Tone and Tighten, to be completed any time during the week. Points will be awarded differently for each challenge, but you will be given the information ahead of time for calculating points for yourself. We ask that you calculate and post your own challenge points by midnight, Wednesday night on our Official Ninja Tracking Spreadsheet (ONTS). In summation your responsibilities as a Navy Ninja are...
1. Participate in all of the challenges and post your points (according to each challenges specifications) on the ONTS by Wednesday midnight.
2. Join in on the conversations by posting personal updates on our team chat thread and commenting on others' updates.
3. Update your information in the ONTS on time every Wednesday with your weight and fitness minutes.
** Challenge points are not the same as Ninja Belt points.** You will be awarded NINJA BELT POINTS based on your challenge scores!

Captain's Responsibility
After you record your challenge points in the ONTS, we convert your challenge points into NINJA BELT POINTS using the following guidelines below. The NINJA POINTS determine your weekly finish among the Navy Ninjas and whether or not you have earned a new belt ranking. Belt levels will be posted each week in the chat thread and also in the ONTS on the far right side of the page. At this point you can update your signature line with your new belt rank to remind us all of your achievements!!!
