UPDATE: This round is now closed. You can vote on round three here.
American Ninja Warrior’s season seven “best buzzer” voting just got interesting. Usually we can tell which way a vote is going to go. This time around, you threw us some twists!
Remember that with this season, we have two brackets. The bracket winners will face one another in a final around. The “main bracket” is still anyone’s game as we move into round two. The “baby bracket” did not go the way we predicted! One of the most well known buzzers in history is suddenly out of the running. The smaller bracket is already heading into its final round, so your votes are super important! You’ve got work to do.
Review round one and 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.
