Buzzer systems
Re: Buzzer systems
Frankly, I believe that the plain old daisy-chain system, without large fancy lights, meshes of wires and countless adapters, each of which has a high likelihood of malfunctioning, is the best option. After all, we aren't a game show here--anything that adequately signals the first player to buzz in, and does so most simply and efficiently, should be in my opinion the best option for a quiz bowl team.

Your criterion does not take into account the cost of a system itself, nor the cost of replacement parts. As long as teams and individuals are shelling out their own dollars for systems, cost must be taken into account.

It sounds like he's talking about Anderson buzzers, which are cheap anyway.
