You have been hired by a local video game start-up firm. They have just developed their first multiplayer game that they feel is perfect for the eSports market. The game has been tested and played by various gamers, especially those in university leagues and other established leagues.

To officially launch their game to the public, they have hired you to host their event. They would like an event that includes the following:

Gamers to be invited to a venue to play the game in-person. Their game will also be broadcast online to viewers at home.

As the event will be tournament style, there is the potential for teams to log in remotely and compete from a location of their choice.

Spectators who wish to enter the venue to watch and take part in the festivities will have to purchase a ticket to do so. Each ticket price includes entry into the event and a copy of the game to take home.

The client advises that potential investors will be tuning into the product launch from overseas and that the success of the event is crucial to them securing more funding.
