10) What equipment do I need to play CB? (College Bowl)
To properly play a CB match, you will need a room that is relatively quiet
and free from outside noise, a lockout buzzer system, paper and pencils,
and a clock. All of the above, with the exception of the clock, are
required for ACF matches.
The lockout system is essential to the game for one reason: it is the best
method of determing which player (among the eight) has actually signalled
first. Each player has some sort of signalling device, and in a lockout
system, once a player has signalled, no one else can signal until the
system has been cleared. Barring malfunction, this eliminates any
arguments about "who rung in first", because once the first player "rings
in," no one else can until the system has been reset.
When schools host invitationals, the host school usually offers a
discount to schools bringing buzzer systems (and sometimes clocks) to the
tournament.
