SPORTS ECONOMICS MIDTERM PAPER

 

You are a business development specialist for Take-Two Interactive Software, Inc., the
maker of the popular “Grand Theft Auto” series of video games-

In order to rejuvenate recently flagging GTA sales, Take-Two is thinking about
launching a video gaming league focused around GTA You have been asked to
produce a 4-6 page paper setting forth recommendations on league structure.

Among the things that have been discussed in the office that may be worth considering
in your paper are:

1. Whether the league should have geographical ly-based teams, or teams organized
around different themes (psychographics, etc-);

2. Whether the league should hold competitions at a central location (as the Overwatch
League is initially doing, at the Blizzard Arena in LA), or should have “home and home”
competitions like regular sports leagues (as the Overwatch League ultimately plans to
do), or should organize a circuit of tournaments, as professional tennis and golf do; or
should have virtual team-vs-team competitions, where each plays at its own venue
and the competition is shown on screens in each venue;

3. What venues should look like – size, amenities, etc;

4. Whether teams should be separately owned, or owned by the league;

5. Whether the league should be a closed exhibition league, or should have multiple
divisions with a promotion/relegation structure; and

6. What player relations structure the league should have to secure quality players and
prevent them from leaving for competing leagues organized around other video games
