Hello everyone!

To celebrate the game's 30th Anniversary, we'll be hosting a tournament series we're calling Voyage to Talos IV. Over the next 10 months, there will be a series of tournaments designed to celebrate the past, present, and future of First Edition. The more Voyage to Talos IV tournaments you play in, the more prizes you can win! And of course, you get to play Star Trek which is always a win.

Here is the list of currently scheduled and planned tournaments as part of these series. Tournaments that are scheduled are linked, so you can read the individual discussion threads for those events. Anything not linked is tentative, so your feedback about what those events can and should be is welcome.

Tournament Schedule
  1. January - Traditional Open Constructed - Premiere Traditional Only Release Event
  2. February - TNG-Only Modern Constructed - Premiere Remastered Release Event
  3. March - Traditional Open OTSD Sealed
  4. April - Golden Age 1999
  5. June - DS9-Only Modern Constructed
  6. July - Voyager-Only Modern Constructed
  7. September - Warp Speed
  8. October - Traditional Open Constructed
Prizes
Every tournament will feature its own prize pool for participants. For example, the January tournament will feature a Series U Tournament Kit to be distributed among all participants. However, there will be additional prizes available across the entire Voyage to Talos IV series. Details about those prizes are still be worked out, so we'll update you as soon as we can.

There is nothing preventing anyone from running these kinds of tournaments in person.

Isn't that up to you since you run the Return to Talos IV tournament series?
I don't own that series. I just ran them in 2020 and 2023. They existed before I came along, and I think the "requirement" to run a RTT4 event/ series is... run a RTT4 event/series!

So ultimately this is Charlie's call, but I see no reason NOT to do it, so I would encourage him to do so.

January is Premiere-only with traditional rules.

February is only decks with TNG logo. It's Modern rules.

Awesome!

@The Ninja Scot you on this?
I can't make modifications to online events unless I created them myself. This would be under @pfti to make any modifications like adding the tournament tag to make this a Voyage to Talos IV event. However, I know how to do it -

Go to My Tournaments, select Online Event - Mission to Talos IV and click Update.

This should be able to be done by Charlie as well AFAIK.
