B1 Planning an esports event

It is time to consider your own events! what could they be? what would people want to do? what is the draw of your event? Where is it going to be? These are lots of important questions and reflections that should not be rushed in the early stages of planning. 

Spend 15 minutes of reflection to consider your options in relation to the questions above. Record your reflection using a mindmap (This could be paper or in a digital for to support your explorations.)

 

Once you have completed your reflections you will need to structure your idea in a way that others will be able to understand and for any potential investor to gain a clear idea of your proposal. 

The following heading is key to the success of getting the message of your idea across

Aims and objectives.

What you are doing? Why your event is needed, who are you targeting? What it is that you are hoping to achieve by running your event? How are you going to do it?

 

Event type and format.

What format will your event be in and the event type will be used and why.

 

Budget

What is your cost of resources, equipment, venue hire, and if used in your event prize pots? These are important to allow you later to possibly use this as a reference to the profit that may have been made.

 

Health and Safety

You must consider your audience and workers' safety. It is a legal requirement to show that a risk assessment has been done and that suitable first aid is available.

 

Venue

Where are you holding your event? Why have you chosen the location that you have? what are the facilities including access, parking, location, and transport links?

If a local "School/College room" is selected as the venue, this could provide opertunities to reduce the cost implication of running the event. It is worth considered that your event might be a simple inside the organisation event allowing others in the school or college to participate.

 

 

Marketing and advertising,

How are you going to get people to know about your event? what are the strategies that you are going to use to make them aware? e.g. posters, flyers, billboards, social media, adverts, merchandise.

 

Resources

What will you need to make your event run? It is not just consoles or PC's , what about, human, technological and physical.

 

Contingency planning

‘What if’ scenarios e.g. ‘what if players or teams don’t turn up on the day?’, ‘what if I have an odd number of players or teams?’, ‘what if the weather is bad on that day?’, ‘what if I have to change the venue?’.

 

Plans to measure the success of the event

How do you know that it's been worth your time and effort to run this event? how are you going to record the success? e.g. obtain and collect data and statistics from the event, questionnaires, surveys, interviews, and fan pages/forums.
