If you know of a web site that should be added here, contact me by email!

Many of these links were also found by David Levinson, whom I thank for his research and time.

Buzzer systems

Academic Hallmarks (Knowledge Master Open) sells the Logitek Quiztron III Deluxe system.

While you should order replacement parts or repairs through Logitek, order your system from Academic Hallmarks.

Academic Quiz Team Buzzer Systems

Fairly inexpensive system, we recommend the table-top model.

AceGame, Limited

Buzzer system for British academic teams

Electramatic ("The Judge")

Okay, they don't have a web site yet, but they make one of the most popular (unpopular) systems used by college programs to date. Very compact, and rather inexpensive (less than $400 for a 10-player Judge).

Gizmo Buzzer system

Email contact only to Steve Flinn.

Groupics System

You can get as many bells and whistles (or in this case, the "talking microchip" version) as you want.

J. C. Electronics

A nice web page, though there is no cost information available online. As long as you don't mind the lights looking like firemen's hats.

JEM Designs

It's a nice little system with enough of the minimal features to run a fairly good match, except a clock (but who needs that).

Novel Electronic Designs

This company's system is used for the Illinois High School Scholastic Bowl Championships.

Quik Pro

Specialty Design Corporation's popular "Quik Pro" buzzer system, it's fairly inexpensive and rather popular. However, sometimes it is easy for things to break.

QuizCo QuizMaster, Boise ID

Looks like a pretty nice system. Lights for each contestant as well as for each team (moderator's box). "Isn't this the system that 'quacks'???"

Quiz Machines, Johnson-Chadderton Enterprises, Knoxville IL

Quiz Pro 2000, Computer Products for Education, Kingston PA

This system hooks up to a computer and can help keep score, deliver questions, and display scores.

Quizzer, Madison WI

Yes, you can have 14-15 people play on one system at one time. The auto-timer is a bit of a pain, but it is a nice system.

TieBreaker System, North Ogden UT

Sho-Me Smart System from Triple Q Questions

Its ten-player system costs around $245 with an auto-reset after 5 seconds (which may or may not be a good thing).

Zeecraft

The popular company with LED-timers.
