Jersey Sports Zone Football Plays of the Year Fan Vote: How Voting Works & How to Win

What is the Jersey Sports Zone Football Plays of the Year Fan Vote?

Jersey Sports Zone, the New Jersey high school football outlet that its audience shortens to JSZ, spends each fall publishing highlights from campuses around the state, and when the season wraps it hands some of the judgment to readers. Among the honors is the touchdown pass play of the year. On the 2019 ballot the question appeared verbatim as "Who is your vote for JSZ 2019 TD Pass Play of the Year?", and every option was a passing duo credited to a member school.

Crowdsignal supplies the balloting machinery, and the JSZ ballot sits at https://poll.fm/10466137, the address that carried the 2019 round through to its closed status. A supporter reaches the page, reads the pairing list and registers a preference with a click. Nothing in the flow asks for money.

The nominated schools stretch across the state rather than clustering in a single county: the 2019 slate drew entries connected with Camden, Parsippany Hills, Mater Dei Prep, Westfield and St. Joe-Montvale, among others. That spread is what turns a highlight clip into a statewide talking point, with each community pushing its own duo.

Which JSZ play of the year editions are confirmed, and when does the vote run?

Confirmed editions ran in 2017, 2018, 2019 and 2025. The publisher's own retrospective on the earliest of those campaigns talks about plays of the year material built around the 2017 season, and the poll series continued annually through 2019 before a later revival put a fresh ballot up in 2025. With that history, the program reads as an annual fixture of the outlet's November lineup, and the cycle following the revival points toward 2026.

Timing tracks the football calendar into November. The polling series is anchored to November starts and November finishes, so a live round opens and closes inside that month. Jersey Sports Zone publishes no opening or closing date for the current play-of-the-year round; confirm on the live ballot each cycle. Nomination criteria receive the same silence in its published wording.

The closed 2019 ballot preserves its finishing order, and the schools on it show how wide the net was cast:

Percentages for the remaining pairings stay visible on the poll itself.

How does a supporter cast a vote in the JSZ poll?

Voting asks little of the participant. During the November window a supporter opens https://poll.fm/10466137, scans the nominated passing duos and clicks the vote button beside the favored line. On the 2019 page, percentage tallies sat beside each option, so a visitor could gauge the race at a glance.

Repeat visits are governed by the organizer. Jersey Sports Zone's polls page sets out the position directly: every vote counts, a supporter may return repeatedly within a ceiling of one vote per hour, and automated voting is out of bounds. Its stated policy is explicit: the outlet runs software that detects bots and then disqualifies those votes.

No fee and no membership stand between a visitor and the button; the scarce resource is the hourly reset. Together those rules sketch the honest rhythm of a campaign. Influence accrues to backers who return steadily across the days the ballot stays open, while anyone leaning on scripts risks watching the organizer throw out the very votes that were added. The design rewards persistence, not bulk submitted in a single stroke.

How does the JSZ ballot compare with other New Jersey reader votes?

Within this site's New Jersey group the JSZ ballot has company that skews commercial. The Asbury Park Press Readers' Choice program, the Best of Jersey Shore Contest, the Bergen and Morris Top Dentists ballot, the statewide Best of New Jersey vote and the Jersey Bites Monmouth County Readers' Choice poll all invite the public to rate businesses, restaurants and local services.

This program breaks from that mold in its subject, its calendar and its constituency. Where the neighbors crown a diner, a dentist or a shore shop, Jersey Sports Zone asks which passing duo produced the season's best scoring throw. The ballot lands at the end of the football calendar each November rather than in a summer shopping season, and the constituency is fandom: classmates, families and bleacher regulars with a memory of the play itself. Those differences shape where a backer's energy actually pays off, because an athletic audience responds to shared memory in a way a retail ballot rarely does.

Each neighbor keeps a separate page on this site, runs on a different calendar and answers to a different organizer, so anyone working several New Jersey ballots should plan to adjust the approach for every program individually.

How can a campaign build support within the hourly vote limit?

The hourly ceiling is the constraint that organizes everything else. Because Jersey Sports Zone caps personal participation at one vote per hour, a disciplined base of backers returning across several days outperforms a burst of attention on a single evening. Start with the people already invested in a school's season: teammates, family group chats and the crowd that saw the play happen live. A short link to the ballot, posted where those circles already talk, converts goodwill into clicks without extra tooling. Space reminders around the hourly reset instead of hammering a single feed, and keep every action manual, because the organizer's software detects bots and disqualifies the votes they produce. Tactics that travel well across public ballots, from timing to message drafting, are collected in the votes growth guide.
