A '''buzzer rock''' is a player with a low points per game average who generally does not buzz in more than a few times per tournament. A typical buzzer rock will have a stat line of something like 2 tossups and 0 interrupts in 10 games for a 2.00 points per game average.

The [http://users.ox.ac.uk/~quiz/fun/dict1.shtml Oxford University Quiz Society's Lexicon] defines a buzzer rock as "A player whose sole purpose on a team is to make up the numbers, or be good-looking in the hope of getting on [[University Challenge]]. Also called 'warm body'." It is unknown whether this is an example of lexical convergent evolution or whether Muellerisms have indeed crossed the Atlantic.

Another name for a "buzzer rock" was coined by [[Alex Zachwieja]] of the [[Honaker]] Academic Team. He often refers to buzzer rocks as "stuffed animals".

A stereotypical buzzer rock will have a stat line of something like 2 tossups and 0 interrupts in 10 games for a 2.00 points per game average. Use of this term is largely discouraged due to its negative connotations and suggestions that a player's value is directly tied to their scoring ability.</onlyinclude>
