Who it’s for
Corporate events, sporting events, tournaments.
General sessions, awards nights, town halls and launches. Games with a video board and a PA. Tournaments that run the same shell eight times a day with different names in it. Not a technical requirement and not a production package. The document the director calls the show from.
The script
One row per cue. One column per position.
Every cue is numbered, so the caller says “standby 47” and every position knows where they are. Clock time, running time and duration sit beside it, and the running time is rebuilt when a segment moves.
What’s on the board at every moment, by file name: the sponsor loop, the lineup package, the walk-up film, the countdown slate. When nothing changes, the column says holds.
Playback by track and level, mics by name, when the bed comes in under a read and when it goes out. The stings, the hits, and the moment the anthem takes every other source off.
The read, written out in full, in the announcer’s cadence and timed to the slot. A twenty-second sponsor read is fifty words, so it is fifty words. Names carry their pronunciations.
Lower thirds, name supers, sponsor tags, scoreboard states and winner cards, each on its own line with its own trigger, so the graphics op never has to read the video column to find a cue.
Who moves where, what gets set during the bumper, which card is hot, what happens if the demo fails. The standby is on the page, so the caller reads the show instead of remembering it.
Sample
Two scripts, in full.
A corporate general session and a tournament final, both complete from doors to strike. Read them on the page or download the spreadsheets.
How it runs
Send what you have. The script comes back.
An agenda or a game format, the sponsor list, the assets you have and who’s calling the show. Within five working days the script arrives as a PDF for the desk and a spreadsheet for whatever rundown tool the booth or the truck runs. One round of revisions is included. After the script is locked, changes are billed by the hour.
Rates
Priced by the event.
Every rate covers the whole script, doors to strike, with one round of revisions. The quote is confirmed by email before anything is charged.
