Staggering Starts for Several Teams

This is an invented planning exercise, not a customer event or testimonial.

rules

Begin at the assigned first station and follow the listed order; wait if a station is occupied

Planning process

The organizer enters five tasks and five team names. The generated task order rotates by team, giving each a different first station while retaining all five tasks. The host checks actual station capacity and explains what to do if a team catches another.

Result explanation

Rotated order reduces one predictable bottleneck but does not guarantee that every station takes the same time. The host still needs a tested pace and enough space for waiting without obstruction.

Alternative

Use timed rotations or duplicate paper stations if solving times differ greatly. Keep the scoring opportunities equal.

Execution notes

Do not send teams into an unsafe detour to avoid a queue. A facilitator can pause movement and adapt the route.
