The Manchester United Soccer Tournament project team (review the ManchesterUnited case at the end of Chapter 4) has identified the following potential risksto their project:
a. Referees failing to show up at designated games.
b. Fighting between teams.
c. Pivotal error committed by a referee that determines the outcome of a game.
d. Abusive behavior along the sidelines by parents.
e. Inadequate parking.
f. Not enough teams sign up for different age brackets.

Event | Response | Contingency |
a | Mitigate- by reminding referees a night prior games | Referees on call can fill up |

c | Mitigate- recruit seasoned referees and assign reputable referees to important games | Have a tournament council to accept appeals |

e | Mitigate- level game schedule and build bigger parking lots or ramps | Provide shuttle service |
f | Mitigate- better campaigning and marketing | Combine age groups |
