We put out an open call for talent auditions on a search to find the internet's next star hooper. With over a thousand submissions we had to narrow it down to 8 contestants who we flew out to California for an all expenses paid for trip to compete in a series of 1s, 3s and 5s. On day 1 the contestants competed against each other. On Day 2 the Ballislife pannel picked the top 4 to move on to the mystery boss round. And on the final day we had a crazy 3v3 tournament. On Episode 2 we have two 1v1 match ups. First one features Jayo vs Burke followed by Tracy vs Tyree.
