Four steps, in order, from walking in to sitting down at a buzzer. The first three happen at practice; the last one matters once a team enters a competition.

Four steps to a buzzer

The buzzer set.

A lockout set is a box with one plunger per seat. The first press lights that seat's lamp and locks every other plunger out in the same instant, so there is never an argument about who was first, and the moderator resets it before the next question. Learning to sit at one is mostly learning when to press, not how.

We have not put an email or a sign-up link up yet, so come to a practice and ask.
