All of you should feel dirty. Voting for some prep school kid, you've never seen play. Imagine if the kid who draws the most votes is a third stringer, who never played meaningful minutes, but who has friends who know how to manipulate the voting system by getting non-affiliated people to vote. Oh wait, it sounds like the US election system. I guess this is how it really works. Didn't vote for him or anyone else.
 
I'm voting for the soccer play. Sorry OP. Certainly not voting for the first one where a behemoth is dunking over a bunch of midgets. Not really fair, that.

LOL. Jordan and Tariq are approaching 7,000 votes EACH.

Way to go, ATOT and whomever is helping Tariq.

BTW, the Week 1 winner received 177 votes and the Week 2 winner got 601 votes.

Somebody should probably script the other votes....

If you make the poll look compromised they may not give away the prize!
 
So this is turning into script vs script apparently.
Awesome.

My "always stay 5 ahead" plan is working so far. Though there was an instance where they got >500 votes in a few seconds so it took a bit to catch back up. But as soon as he gets within 5, we give 10 quick votes to get back into the lead.

Other dude was in the lead last I checked, but only by a couple.

The best part is the actual video has ~1,000 views compared to the ~7,000 votes 🙂

Passed 7,500 and well on their way to 8,000!

Keep up the good work, bot-masters.

Not accounting for inflation, one year of HS tuition cost more than my undergrad degree from Cal Poly. I graduated in 2006.

And I believe it's on par with undergrad tuition at a private university. So yes, high roller 😉
 
Did voting end? Refreshing page doesn't give the option of voting anymore.

  • Campbell Hall's Jordan Cohen nails long shot before half 38%, 7645 votes
  • Tariq Branche's game-winning goal for North Torrance 38%, 7623 votes
  • Chino Hills' Lonzo Ball finishes an alley-oop dunk 10%, 2034 votes
  • Crespi's De'Anthony Brown finishes second-quarter dunk 10%, 2027 votes
  • Cody Riley's nasty dunk for Sierra Canyon 5%, 947 votes

Surprised that 3rd-5th placers managed to put that many votes in a few hours.

I was just able to vote on my phone.

Try in the last hour. And I suspect that some ATOTers are behind the additional votes for the other videos.

This.

I'm not going to opine on the virtues (or lack thereof) of vote manipulation. However getting this kid disqualified for something he didn't do would be genuinely crappy.
