‘Best buzzer’ of season 13: Qualifiers round one

The polls are back! Get to voting!

By Nikki Lee
Elizabeth Morris/NBC

Remember when season 12 had to postpone filming back in 2020 and Ninja Warrior news got really quiet for awhile? During that time, we ran a “best buzzer ever” tournament. It was an informal thing including polls and brackets to celebrate the “best buzzer ever.”

Turns out, we had a lot of readers engaging with those polls! So, we’re going to do a smaller version to celebrate all the buzzers of season 13. We’ll go through the rounds of the Qualifiers until one buzzer remains. Then we’ll move on to the Semifinals and the National Finals. The “best” three buzzers will then face off one more time.

As we mentioned, this is informal. There’s no prize. It’s a chance to think back on each and every buzzer from the season, think about how great it was, and have a little fun with it!

55 Ninjas reached the buzzer during the season 13 Qualifiiers. That means in order to run the bracket, nine Ninjas got a bye to the second round of the tournament. We asked the system to organize the byes and the match ups randomly, so there’s no bias in there!

We’ll close these polls in one week to organize the next round. Happy voting!
