100%. Amy smacked the crap out of me on the buzzer in the DJ round in my game. I’d like to think I smacked the crap out of her in the J round though. This was by no means chance, in my opinion. I did a tremendous amount of work and engineering on the buzzer component both at home and in the studio during both the rehearsal rounds and while watching the first game she played. Everyone else had the opportunity to do this as well.Golf wrote: ↑Sat Dec 04, 2021 5:19 pm You’re surprised? I believe if you conducted a poll over 90% of boardies wouldn’t change a thing when it comes to the signaling device. Your opinion is the extreme minority.
Timing is in no way luck based, it is a skill that can be practiced and learned. Why do you think so many successful contestants practiced with a mock up for countless hours before appearing on the show?
It’s simply one of many strategic concepts that most contestants never consider important. No different than DD hunting, wagering skills, world capitals, etc. And it shows when they are on stage.
With the day’s contestants currently getting to sit in the audience directly behind the contestant coordinator table if they pick the right seat while watching, I will say there is a LOT on info you can glean from watching the monitor there while the games are in progress regarding when the buzzers arm and when contestants are ringing in. You can see it all.
