SPT 401 Module Five Assignment Guidelines and Rubric

Overview: Most sport facility managers are tasked with creating scripts for major events so that everyone involved knows who should be where and at what time. These scripts should include everything from pregame shows, player lineups, and the national anthem to complex halftime shows and everything in between, until the final buzzer marks the end of the event. For this assignment, you will have the opportunity to consider all these various issues as you practice developing a script for an event at your final project facility.

Prompt: For this assignment, review the sample script on page 376 in your textbook. Then, develop a script for the event you designed the emergency action plan (EAP) for last week. This event should take place at the facility you selected for your final project. Your script should outline the flow of time for the event, starting from the minute the doors or gates open to the conclusion of the event. Your primary focus should be on the official field or court of play.

Specifically, the following critical elements must be addressed:

What is happening on the field or court, and at what time? For example, what is the home team doing? What are visitors doing? When might teams and officials enter the facility for warm-ups or return to the locker room before the game?

Consider staging timelines. For example, where and at what time might the halftime entertainment need to be close to the field to allow for efficient transitions?

Who else will be using the playing surface during the event? What will they be doing, and when? (Think marching bands, cheerleaders, promotional events, special ceremonies, and so on.)

Schedule a time for a community figure to be formally recognized during the game or event. This would commonly occur during the event at the point when most fans are focused on the performance surface.
