I noticed it and figured out what it was while previewing the contestants ahead of time, on the J! website tournament page.
This was one of those days I was unable to watch the game in real time and came to the board first, so I don't if I would have noticed the button on TV. I definitely did not notice it on the website, though - kudos to you.

Indeed, only college tournament, but I'll take it. Can't recall the last time I had all correct in one of these polls.
