Allegiances [3]

Unlike the first round, the second round consisted of three separate events. If one person could win multiple times, they'd be granted the win. Otherwise, the winners of the separate events would fight to determine their podium positions.

The first round was an obstacle course.

Sandstone walls roughly fifty feet high sectioned off the course and created a sort of labyrinth scheme for the geniuses to follow.

However, they only needed to follow the path. They didn't need to find the correct way through. 

In this challenge, it was what lay within the paths that mattered. Challenges that tested their agility, dexterity, strength, balance, and other bodily strengths were everywhere.

There were no limits on how the geniuses could pass through these areas. As long as they could make it to the other side, their solution was valid.
