UPDATE: This season is now in round two! You can cast your votes here.
Welcome back to 2015! Below, you’ll find the polls needed to take part in the “Best Buzzer” battle of American Ninja Warrior season seven. We had to get a little creative with this one to get the bracket to flow. There’s a main bracket, containing the buzzers from the season. Then there is a “baby bracket” at the bottom containing the last four runs of the season (on YouTube). The winner of this “baby bracket” will be brought in during the championship round to face the winner of the main bracket.
Season seven brought us the first American Ninja Warrior Champion with Isaac Caldiero. It also brought along some controversy when Geoff Britten also hit all four buzzers of the National Finals. And yes, there is a face off between Geoff’s and Isaac’s stage four buzzers. So have it and express yourself through voting!
As always, there’s more explanation on the ground rules at the bottom of this article. You can also vote on other seasons here.

Ground rules
- We’re starting with season four in 2012.
- That was the first season the show started traveling from location to location, and that the National Finals were held in Las Vegas. Also, we’re starting with this season because that’s as far back as we can find videos for the runs on one of the two different official YouTube accounts that archive them. This one with G4 and USA Network videos and this one with NBC videos.
- The run has to have a video on one of those channels.
- We feel it’s important for the voters to be able to watch the runs. That way, even if they weren’t watching way back in 2012, they can still participate in the vote. We realize this excludes buzzer runs that aren’t posted. The system is not perfect. We’ve accepted that.
- They have to hit a buzzer.
- There are many, MANY ways to qualify a run as great: If the person made history of some kind, if they overcame something, if they just really grit it out. But our mind exploded trying to figure out a bracket of polls that included ALL the runs, so we’re just talking about buzzers this time.
- The match ups are pretty random.
- They’re just related to how the videos are sorted on the YouTube pages. No other thought went into it. Oh well. :)
- If an additional run is needed to balance the bracket, we’ll include the “Last Ninja Standing” run of that season. Think of it as a wildcard.
- We’ll move through all the seasons, and then circle back through the rounds.
