1914 Valour - FWWC Tournament Round 1

[HMCS Rosthern]

Organizing these tournament is a learning experience. I forgot my standards.

The standard was established in previous tournaments. The length of each round, i.e., the total number of days for both sides to complete the game, is 3 times the number of turns in the scenario plus 10 days. The length of the Round 1 scenario is 13 turns; so 13 * 3 days + 10 days = 49 days. I think this formula is the proper balance of having a FUN schedule and maximizing the number of rounds that can be scheduled in a year.

I have come up with a FWWC scenario selection for 6 rounds with the following schedule:

Tournament Start: Wednesday, January 1, 2025 0000PST
Round 1 Start: Wednesday, January 1, 2025 0000PST
Round 2 Start: Thursday, February 20, 2025 0000PST
Round 3 Start: Monday, April 14, 2025 0000PST
Round 4 Start: Monday, June 30, 2025 0000PST
Round 5 Start: Saturday, September 6, 2025 0000PST
Round 6 Start: Saturday, November 22, 2025 0000PST
Tournament End: Saturday, January 24, 2026 2359PST

I am not divulging the scenarios to add suspense. 

I trust this is acceptable for all. Post here if you have concerns. For those that indicated they were were dropping out please post here whether this schedule will work for you. 

I'll go ahead with creating a new thread, the thread's name ends in VERSION 2.0. This thread contains new Round 1 details,  and pairings assuming all of the original entrants, including those that previously posted they were dropping out.  

Thanks everyone and Happy New Year!
