Introduction
1.1 Design Thinking

Design thinking is a human-centric problem-solving approach that emphasizes empathy,

creativity, and collaboration. It involves five key stages: Empathize, Define, Ideate,
Prototype, and Test. By understanding user needs, defining problems, generating ideas,
prototyping solutions, and testing, design thinking fosters innovative, user-centric
solutions in various fields.

1.2 Importance of design thinking

Design thinking is centered on the person behind the problem and solution. It involves
building empathy with users, observing how they interact with products, and ensuring the
user remains the focus.

1.3 Learning tools and assignments

Utilize online courses, books, workshops, and digital tools. Empathize by interviewing
users, define problems, ideate solutions, create prototypes, and test them. Apply design
thinking to real-world projects, case studies, interdisciplinary collaborations, and reflect
on the process.

1.4 The idea to make a project

Design thinking inspires projects by deeply understanding user needs and iterating
through a problem-solving process. It uncovers innovative ideas that directly address user
challenges, ensuring that projects are user-centered, meaningful, and impactful. This
approach guides the project from inception to development, aligning it with user
preferences.

2.6 Conclusion of Empathy Mapping

Empathy mapping for the topic of Playoff offers valuable insights into the
thoughts, feelings, and experiences of the various stakeholders involved, including
players, organizers, and spectators. Players are primarily driven by the
excitement and camaraderie that the game fosters. They appreciate the faster pace and
the need for quick decision-making, which creates a more intense experience
compared to traditional cricket. However, some players may feel restricted by the limited
space, which hinders the execution of conventional cricket skills, like long shots.For
organizers, the focus is on delivering an engaging and smoothly run event. Their
concerns revolve around ensuring player safety in the confined playing area, managing
team dynamics, and maintaining the fast-paced excitement that is essential for both
participants and spectators.

4.1 Final Problem statement

Playoff centers around the challenge of balancing the fast-paced, condensed nature of the
game with the preservation of key elements from traditional cricket. While Playoff
offers an exciting, quick format that appeals to players and spectators alike, it struggles
with limitations related to space, safety, and skill development. Players often feel restricted
by the confined playing area.Additionally, some fans may find the game lacks the
strategic depth of traditional cricket. Therefore, the problem lies in creating a version of Box
Cricket that maintains its core appeal .

Enhancements

The enhancement of Playoff focuses on improving the structure, engagement,

and overall experience of the game for players, organizers, and spectators. To
make Box Cricket playoffs more exciting and competitive, several enhancements
can be implemented:

1. Structured Tournament Format: Introducing tiered playoff systems, such as

round-robin or knockout stages, can create a more competitive
environment. This ensures that teams have multiple opportunities to
prove themselves, leading to more intense, high-stakes matches in the later
stages.
2. Innovative Scoring Systems: Adding special scoring rules, such as bonus runs
for unique shots or exceptional fielding, can raise the stakes during playoffs.
This encourages teams to focus not only on traditional cricket skills but also
on creativity and strategy, making each match more dynamic and
unpredictable.
3. Enhanced Fan Experience: To boost spectator engagement, live
commentary, real-time statistics, and interactive features can be introduced.
Broadcasting playoff matches online or through local channels with added
analytics can provide a more professional feel, drawing in a larger
audience.
4. Player Safety and Fair Play: Ensuring proper safety measures, such
as protective gear and boundary regulations, becomes critical during
playoffs, where competition is intense. Strict enforcement of rules and
fair play regulations ensures that the spirit of the game is
maintained.

In summary, enhancing Box Cricket playoffs involves refining the

competitive structure, integrating innovative rules, ensuring player safety,
and improving the spectator experience, all of which contribute to a more
engaging and memorable tournament.
