Overview

Week 16 opens Unit 6, the course's capstone unit, by building the four foundational documents every later planning step depends on. Students start by writing a one-paragraph opportunity statement that pins down an event's audience, format, and goal before any logistics get decided. From there, they choose a bracket format and write rules specific enough to prevent mid-event disputes, build a match schedule with real recovery time and buffer instead of back-to-back optimism, and close the week by building a risk register that pairs each realistic event risk with a predefined boundary and response. By the end of this week, every student has the planning backbone their real capstone event will be built on in Weeks 17 and 18.

Professional Standard

Real event producers write these four documents before they book a venue or announce a date, because logistics decided without a vision, fair rules, a realistic schedule, and a risk plan tend to fall apart under real conditions. This week's evidence should show specific, usable documents a team could actually run an event from — not vague intentions.
