Pre-Games Testing
To make the most of the opportunity for
staff to become familiar with operational procedures,
venues for the ICPGs were organized as
much as possible along the same lines that
NAOC would implement for the Games.
Whenever possible, systems were tested at all
venues.
• Staff Assignments
Staff and personnel to be based at that venue
during the Games, as well as essential personnel
from contracted service companies and
other groups, were assigned to each ICPG. In
addition to the venue where they would be
based during the Games, volunteers were assigned
to other venues in order to give them a
broader perspective and experience of international
sporting events.
• Facilities, Equipment, Systems
As far as possible, facilities, equipment, and
systems (telecommunications, sound, cable,
and giant video screens, etc.) to be used at that
venue during the Games were installed and
tested. Timing, scoring, and results systems
were tested at all the ICPGs.
• Zones, Positions
Parking areas, zones, and positions (i.e.
mixed zones, photo positions, accreditation
zones, etc.) were laid out as similar as possible
to the configuration that would be in use for
the Games. Accreditation check procedures
and zone controls were also implemented and
tested. Walkways and access paths were set
up for each accreditation category to test their
suitability.
