4. EVS Clients
EVS has two main client groups: largely the spectators with valid tickets and accredited persons.
5. Venue Structure
For a game to take place, three components are necessary: the competition event, the spectators
to watch the game and the workforce to prepare the game. A venue includes space for all of them.
Front of House (FOH)
- Area where spectators with valid tickets stay in and use the facilities
In FOH, there could be facilities such as Food Concessions, Souvenir Stores, Information
Points/Centres, and Toilets, etc.
Back of House (BOH)
- Area where athletes, media, and workforce prepare for the operation of the events
In BOH, there are several designated areas for each group such as Media, Athletes, or EVS
workforce preparation room.
Field of Play (FOP)
- Area where a competition actually takes place

Before spectators enter the FOH area, they need to go through security screening in the
Pedestrian Screening Area (PSA). After they have passed through the security screening, they
will enter the FOH where they will be provided with a variety of services and facilities.
EVS team members will be positioned throughout the PSA to manage the queues in PSA. Also
in FOH, they will give information to spectators, provide directions to facilities, and operate
information point/centre and stroller/wheelchair storage and so on.
In the seating bowl, EVS team members will help the spectators find their seats.
Seating Bowl: giving direction to the seats
In the BOH, EVS team members are responsible for checking the accreditation privilege of
the person who tries to enter the venue or zone. Also, some of the EVS Team Member will
support other Team Members as Operation Support Team Members.

7. FAs relevant to EVS
To provide optimal environment for all participants of the PyeongChang 2018 Winter Games,
EVS collaborates with various other departments. These departments are called Functional
Areas (FA) in Olympic.
EVS especially works closely with FAs such as Security(SEC), Medical Services(MED),
Transport(TRA), Ticketing (TKT), Cleaning and Waste(CNW), and Accreditation(ACR).

MED
(Medical Services)
For instance, when an EVS team member spots a spectator in need of medical service, he or
she has to ask support from MED. Another case could be where a spectator has an issue with
his or her ticket. In that case, EVS would contact TKT to help resolve the problem. The Venue
General Manager(VGM) supervises everything that is going on in his or her responisble venue.

Chain of Command is a reporting structure used to solve problems effectively. Since EVS
works with large number of workforce working across the venue, a communication method
to immediately report an issue and find solution is neccesary. This is why we use chain of
command as a reporting structure. Any problem or issue found during the operation is
escalated up the chain of command until it is resolved. Recognizing the problem and instantly
reporting it to resolve the problem as soon as possible is critical to the success of EVS.
For instance, if a team member finds a problem in the venue, he or she reports it to Team
Leader. Team Leader will report this issue to his or her Supervisor. Supervisors will escalate
the issue to their Deputy Venue Manager or Venue Manager.
11
Supervisors
Organisation One Supervisor works together with three or four Team Leaders.
Role •Oversee specific area in the venue, resolve and report problems.
•Support Team Leaders and Team Members by providing guidance
and resolving issues.
Reporting System If there is an issue, the Supervisor will either take action or escalate
the issue.
Team Leaders
Organisation One Team Leader works together with up to ten Team Members.
Role •Show Team Members to their position.
•Provide Team Members with necessary equipment.
•Ensure their team receives breaks and is looked after during the shift.
•Report problems to the Supervisor.
•Stay close to the Team Members and guide them if they have any
difficulties.
Reporting System Team leader will solve the issues escalated by the Team Members.
If Team Leaders cannot resolve the issues by themselves, they will
report the issue to their Supervisors.
Role Team Members carry out various EVS roles according to the shift.
Reporting System They report the issues to their Team Leaders if they cannot resolve
the issues by themselves.

Cautions!
Make sure not to put yourself in danger.
Learn your working area and competition information well, since spectators easily ask
questions regarding the direction and information of the games.
Be aware of seating area structure (gate, block, row, seat), nearby facilities, and
competition schedule.
There are mainly two types of tickets: general admission and reserved seating.
RESERVED SEATING: seat number, blocks, gates are indicated on tickets
GENERAL ADMISSION: no row or seat number indicated on the tickets/first-come-first-served

5. Access Monitor
Some people (workforce, athletes, press, Olympic and Paralympic Games Family members
and dignitaries) need to have accreditation cards that give access to venues to do their work.
Different zones in a venue are allowed for different groups of personnel. Therefore, Access
Monitor will stand at Access Control Point to check the access privilege of the people entering
the zone. Main role of EVS team member in BOH is to check if the people have the correct
accreditation card for the zone or venue they are trying to enter.
21
IMPORTANT TO REMEMBER:
Ask the person in a polite manner without touching the card.
If the person is wearing veil or sunglasses, ask the person to remove it, so that you
can compare his/her face from the picture on the card.
Every single person must be checked every time, even for the re-entry.
Make sure accredited people do not escort an unaccredited person through the
access control point.
If a person does not stop at the access control point when you ask to, take a note of
the person’s characteristics such as gender, hair colour, or clothing and report this
information immediately to your Team Leader.
Make sure you know the location of VAO to direct people for further assistance. (You
leave.
Only verbally deliver the instruction to the card holder and do not take any physical
action to block him or her. Do not put yourself in the dangerous situation.

At every access control point, there will be an Access
Control Board. The board consists of two parts:
upper part shows the venue codes and lower part
shows zone numbers, colors, or letter (R).
EVS Access Monitor checks if the code on person’s
accreditation card matches one of those on the
Access Control Board.
In the board above, code of ASP and GOV is written. ASP is the code of Alpensia Olympic Park
and GOV is the code of Gangneung Oval.
Note
ASP was originally named after Alpensia Sports Park. But the name of the venue has
changed to Alpensia Olympic Park. The venue code, ASP, has to be changed to AOP
following the changed venue name, but to prevent confusion, original venue code is still
used.

Besides the regular accreditation card, there are two additional cards, which are Upgrade
Card and Two-Part Card.
Accreditation FA issues accreditation cards for people who need access privilege to a venue
or zone. During the Games time, when an accredited person needs additional access privilege
to other venue or zone, he or she needs to recieve an Upgrade Card. Upgrade Card gives
access privilege only when it is used with the regular accreditation card.

37
While helping a person with special needs, you need to keep the following behaviors in
mind:
Focus on the person, not the disability.
Speak directly to the person and not to his/her companion or caregiver.
Place yourself at eye level when speaking with a person using a wheelchair.
Treat wheelchair as an extension of wheelchiar user's body. Do not touch it unless
invited to do so.
Listen carefully when you’re talking with someone you have difficulty to understand.
Be patient and wait for the person to finish speaking, rather than speaking for him/
her or completing his/her sentence. If necessary, ask short questions that invite short
answers, like a nod or a shake of head.
When referring to a person with a disability, be careful of expression. Mention the
person first and then mention the disability (ex. ‘spectator with a hearing problem’
instead of ‘hearing impaired spectator.’)
Relax and do not worry if you make mistakes. On most occasions, you will be asked for
information and directions: where to find the accessible toilet, the ramp or elevator
that leads to the accessible seating.

The PyeongChang 2018 Olympic and Paralympic Winter Games will bring spectators from all
different countries to PyeongChang and Gangneung.
As Event Services, we will directly interact with many people from different cultures. To
minimize communication difficulties and to ensure guests from all different cultures and
language groups are respected, keep the following tips in mind:
People may have different look, appearance, or way of dressing. We should respect
their cultures.
Keep smiling
Even when you feel embarrassed or stressed during the communication with them,
soften the situation with your warm smile.
Listen and try to understand
Repeat what you have heard to spectator to ensure you have understood correctly.
Speak slowly and clearly
People with a limited knowledge of English usually take one word at a time to translate
it into their own language. For better communication, avoid slangs, jargons or acronyms
and use simple words.
No handshakes
Some people may not be comfortable with hand shaking. Therefore avoid touching
strangers, including handshakes or pats on their back, unless initiated by the spectator.
However, use your arms and hands to give clear directions.
Respect physical space between
Be aware of your proximity to others and their level of comfort with you when you are
speaking.

8. Re-entry Policy
Spectators are not allowed to leave the venue and re-enter once their tickets have been scanned.
When you receive a request on re-entry from a spectator, contact your Team Leader or Supervisor.

9. Ambush Marketing and EVS Role
When a company advertises its products with a big event without being an official sponsor, it is
called ‘Ambush Marketing.’
The definition of Ambush Marketing is 'all intentional and unintentional attempts to create a false or
unauthorised commercial association with the Olympic Movement or the Olympic Games.'
Examples of ambush marketing are large groups of spectators coming to the venue wearing T-shirts
or carrying items promoting a company that is not a sponsor.
If someone is distributing t-shirts with the logo of other soda brands to the spectators and guiding
them to wear them, it is regarded as ambush marketing, since the official sponsor on drink products
for the 2018 Winter Games is Coca Cola.
If you see such incident, report it to your Team Leader. Team Leader will contact VM to inform VCC to
contact relevant FA representative to resolve the issue.
