This was originally a blog post and still flows well, however I'm about to add yet more content here so having some sections will hopefully keep it approachable.
I'm planning to link to this page from the signup form, so having this clear from the start feels important.
Not sure about the secion heading here -- better ideas welcome.
Not sure how we hadn't already mentioned this...

Not super happy with this section heading name; would appreciate some suggestions.
This information is already in various places around the site, thuogh I'm not aware of anywhere that it's all collected together like this. Ideally I'd also like to have a separate page just about the competition event, but that can wait for another time.

Mostly so that there's a route to the rules archive.

There's no mention of the virtual competition here - should there be? :)

There's also no mention of the Challenges either. I deliberately didn't mention them -- they felt "small" enough not to worry about as well as being a bit more tied to the specifics of the content of the year rather than the structure. The Virtual Competition perhaps is different though 🤔 I don't think the friendlies are though (plus we don't always run them).

Agreed with the challenges and friendlies - may be worth mentioning the virtual comp.

This fits better after the Virtual Competition section has been added.

This extends the supervisor page and adds a new page about the overall programme structure. The goal here is to address the key aspects of srobo/tasks#1357, though to fully complete that we'll also need to actually get these docs in front of supervisors early in the cycle.
This may also go some way towards other issues linked from that one, though I don't think fully addresses any single one of them. Again this is partly about getting the information in other places (though hopefully this is now something we can more easily/usefully link to).
As part of this change I've also linked to the team-supervisor ("Running a team") page from the signup form for SR2025. Ideally we'd include this change before that goes live, but even as it stands it's a useful resource for them.
Ideally I'd also like to have a separate page just about the competition event, but that can wait for another time. (Also I believe there's already a draft somewhere, which could usefully be finished)
