Equal Task Opportunity for Unequal Team Sizes
This is an invented planning exercise, not a customer event or testimonial.
Background and constraints

Planning process
The organizer gives every team the same four capped tasks and removes speed bonuses. The host checks one agreed response per task rather than counting the number of sketches or words contributed. Team-size differences are explained before play.
Result explanation
Every team has a maximum of forty points. Equal available tasks do not erase every effect of team size, but the published capped-output rule avoids a simple volume advantage.
Alternative
Use a shared cooperative score or reorganize teams if participants prefer no size imbalance.
Execution notes
Do not add a fictitious participant to make the numbers equal. Offer meaningful roles and a seated route by agreement.
