Question 1

Which three elements make up the event life cycle:&#10;A) Pre Event - Event - Post Event&#10;B) Pre Planning - Planning and Post Planning&#10;C) Immediate Planning- Constant Management - Legacy&#10;D) Starting - Doing - Ending

Accepted Answer

The three elements that make up the event life cycle are the pre-event stage, the event itself, and the post-event stage. The pre-event stage involves all the planning and preparation that goes into making the event a success, while the event stage is when the actual event takes place. The post-event stage involves evaluating the event, collecting feedback, and analyzing the event's success in order to make improvements for future events. Option A correctly identifies these three stages. Option B is not specific enough and only focuses on planning stages. Option C is too vague and does not explain the process. Option D is too simplistic and does not account for all stages of the event life cycle.

Question 2

What is a key factor is feasibility planning?&#10;A) Matching resources with objectives&#10;B) Affordability, Capacity to deliver and risk assessment&#10;C) Staff development, training and recruitment&#10;D) Event scheduling and timetabling

Accepted Answer

Feasibility planning involves assessing if a project is possible and practical to undertake. Affordability, capacity to deliver and risk assessment are important factors to consider during feasibility planning to ensure that resources are adequate, the project is financially viable, and potential risks can be managed. Staff development, training, and recruitment as well as event scheduling and timetabling may be important considerations for the implementation phase of a project but are not specifically related to feasibility planning. Matching resources with objectives is also important but is more closely related to project planning and management rather than feasibility planning.

Question 3

Which one of the following statements is true?&#10;A) Legacy is everything positive about an event&#10;B) Legacy includes both positive and negative aspects&#10;C) Legacy is successful if the event makes a profit&#10;D) Legacy is a short term event

Accepted Answer

Legacy refers to the lasting impact and consequences of an event, which can include both positive and negative aspects. It is not solely determined by financial profit, and is intended to have a long term effect rather than being a short term event. Therefore, only option B correctly reflects the definition of legacy.

Question 4

Risk assessment can be described best as?&#10;A) Managing opportunities and threats&#10;B) Identifying, rating and planning responses to threats&#10;C) Reducing threats and promoting staff awareness&#10;D) Delegating responsibility for threats

Accepted Answer

Risk assessment involves identifying potential threats, rating their likelihood and potential impacts, and developing strategies to respond to or mitigate those threats. It does not involve managing opportunities, promoting awareness or delegating responsibility for threats.

Question 5

Who should be involved in an event evaluation?&#10;A) Staff Only&#10;B) Staff and Management&#10;C) Stakeholders and end users&#10;D) Stakeholders, Staff, Management and end users

Accepted Answer

In order to obtain a comprehensive and accurate evaluation of an event, it is important to involve all relevant parties, including stakeholders who have invested in the event, staff who have executed it, management who have planned and overseen it, and end users who have experienced it. By involving all of these groups, all perspectives can be taken into account and a more complete understanding of the event's success can be obtained.

Question 6

Question 7

According to different studies analysing the type and demographic and social profiles of spectators attending events at the US sport venues and at the main football leagues in Europe, the main managerial focus has been on which of the following age spectators:

A) 18 to 34
B) 18 to 45
C) 18 to 50

Accepted Answer

Studies have shown that the primary managerial focus for spectators attending events at US sports venues and main football leagues in Europe is on the 18 to 34 age group. This demographic is targeted due to their higher discretionary spending, greater social media engagement, and potential long-term loyalty to the sport or team.

Question 8

According to different international studies, which of the following drivers will play the most important part in implementing universal accessibility for disabled and elderly fans at sport venues?&#10;A) Legal&#10;B) Demographic&#10;C) Social&#10;D) Managerial&#10;E) Technological

Accepted Answer

Demographic drivers, such as an aging population and increasing number of people with disabilities, will be the most important in driving the implementation of universal accessibility at sport venues. Legal, social, managerial, and technological drivers will also play a role, but demographic factors will be the most influential.

Question 9

According to the view of Kim Kramer, which main principle has played the most important role in the effective implementation of accessibility at the Allianz Arena and FC Bayern Munich:&#10;A) The role of the Disability Liaison Officer&#10;B) The managerial approach of the club&#10;C) Collaboration between different stakeholders in the planning and design of the venue

Accepted Answer

Kim Kramer emphasizes the importance of collaboration between different stakeholders in the planning and design of the venue, including disabled persons organizations, architects, engineers, and construction companies. This approach has allowed for the incorporation of accessibility features throughout the stadium and has ensured that the needs of disabled fans are considered at every stage. While the role of the Disability Liaison Officer and the managerial approach of the club are also important factors, they are not identified as the most significant principle by Kramer.

Question 10

Providing minimum accessible standards of services at any sport venue is sufficient to meet the current demands of all types of spectators attending events

Accepted Answer

While minimum accessible standards may meet the legal requirements for accessibility, they may not be sufficient to fully accommodate the needs and preferences of all types of spectators attending events. For example, some spectators may require particular types of seating or assistive devices, while others may benefit from additional amenities or services such as audio descriptions or sensory-friendly environments. Meeting the needs of diverse groups of spectators requires a more comprehensive and inclusive approach to designing and delivering accessible services and experiences.
