'''Slammer Systems''' is a company that makes a [[buzzer]] system called "Slam-in". The system uses individual wireless boxes for buzzers, activated by pressing a colored plate on the top (slamming the buzzer). The buzzers run using a computer and special software that also runs the match (timers, scoring, recognition, etc.).

The software also allows for livestreaming the scoreboard during the game, as well as remote competition.

Slam-in systems are used for the [[IESA]] state series, the [[Commissioner's Academic Challenge]], and, before it went defunct, [[NTAE]].

==Drawbacks==

The slam-in system does not meet [[NAQT]]'s https://www.naqt.com/buzzer-discount-policy.html Lockout System Discount Policy], as the buzzers are wireless. Additionally, the default configuration requires a computer (although a console box is available as an add-on to allow for computer-free operation).
