I agree that your complaints about The Judge are
more than justified. Still, there is something to be
said for it. For one thing, it is virtually
indestructible. It may be annoying when the buzzers crash to the
floor, but they will still work afterwards. The case is
very sturdy and will withstand all sorts of banging
around. I've noticed with systems that have individual
lights, the little plastic clip things on the ends of the
wires break off and at least one person has to spend
the match worrying about whether their light is still
plugged in or not.
Also, The Judge is very convenient.
It's quick and easy to set up and take down, and the
shape and size of the case are manageable.
Just my
two cents worth.
