How do our
systems compare?

Std. vs Deluxe
 

 
How does it work?
 
  These are the main components of a Team System: the team module and system controller.

Team modules sit in front of each team. Each player is individually identified by indicators on the panel.

The system controller sits in front of the moderator and is connected to each team module.

The Team Module sits in the middle of the table and can accommodate up to five players.

Each player has their own hand-held pushbutton.

 

When a player "buzzes in", one of the five lights on the module's panel lights up to show which of the five was the first to press their button.

The light on top of the module also lights up to draw attention to the team.

The team module has indicator lights on both sides... the players can see who buzzed in first, too!
