  2. The History The Contract Game is nearly 20 years old, created by ASSA as a learning tool: • It helps build understanding of how to deal with challenging situations • Probably influenced by the Honeywood File • Originally in a paper format (with carbon paper) • JCT 98 version was converted to an internet platform • It helps clarify relationships

  3. The JCT/SBCC 05 Game The new Game has now been played, vetted and argued over : • Probably influenced by knowledge of litigation • converted to an internet platform • All parties are unpleasant • ”Trust no-one” • It is full of dirty tricks

  4. The Process Each team of four players follows a route created by a series of scenarios: • Each question must be answered fully • Answers are in the form of contract correspondence or the use of forms • There should be no dubiety about the answer - it’s all very black and white

  5. The Scenarios All of the scenarios appear as letters, faxes, memos, emails, texts: • In some cases there are multiple documents to be cross-referenced • It is based on an apparently live project • It runs from tender acceptance to post final certificate • There is never any break from the “game reality”

  6. The Controllers Controllers are guest lecturers, former students or part-time staff: • They know the industry • Being a controller is excellent CPD • They can be quite cantankerous • Be clear in your answers • Don’t try to be smart, they will always have the upper hand

  7. The Controller’s Role Controllers reply to messages sent by the candidates in answer to the scenarios: • They play a role, as QS, contractor or client • They can be pedantic or helpful • They decide whether the team’s response is right
