So I was just re-reading the event guidelines and noticed this part:

"1. Don't make your event too long. "Championships" sound cool but they're also most likely to never be finished. A maximum length of five rounds for a championship style event (if one round per week), or one month if more than five rounds (ie. two races/days per week), is the recommended amount for most events to ensure all participants can commit to the entire event length.
"

Now, I was hoping to run a "Formula 360 Classic" event based off of the 1973 F1 season with as much historical accuracy as possible. The 1973 F1 season had 15 rounds and I was hoping to have the same number. I was thinking there could be 3 rounds followed by a break, 3 rounds, break etc.

Calendar

Week 1: Argentine Grand Prix
Week 2: Brazilian Grand Prix
Week 3: South African Grand Prix
Week 4: Break
Week 5: Spanish Grand Prix
Week 6: Belgian Grand Prix
Week 7: Monaco Grand Prix
Week 8: Break
Week 9: Swedish Grand Prix
Week 10: French Grand Prix
Week 11: British Grand Prix
Week 12: Break
Week 13: Dutch Grand Prix
Week 14: German Grand Prix
Week 15: Austrian Grand Prix
Week 16: Break
Week 17: Italian Grand Prix
Week 18: Canadian Grand Prix
Week 19: United States Grand Prix

Basically, is that too much? I do have the breaks every three week so it's not so full on but I don't know.

Edit: This event wouldn't start for quite some time. I have other events I want to run before this so don't expect it to be ready anytime soon

That quote is simply a recommendation and is in no way a rule. As long as people are willing to go through with it, I say it's fine.

The 5 week guideline is in place to ensure that events dont die off and first time event coordinators dont bite off more than they can chew. In addition to that it prevents a single event from occupying a prime time for extended periods of time. That said people who have shown in the past that they can run events in a timely and well organized fashion may be permitted to post events exceeding 5 weeks.

With all that said in my personal opinion 19 weeks is too long regardless of how well you run events. My suggestion would be to chop this down to 8-10 weeks and host 2 separate events with the same rules. Formula 360 Classic Part 1. Then take maybe a month break and host Formula 360 Classic Part 2.

I think the part 1, month or so break, and part two is a good idea. You should do that.
