Abstract
This is the first of at least two articles that describe the moduli spaces of pseudoholomorphic, multiply punctured spheres in as defined by a certain natural pair of almost complex structure and symplectic form. This article proves that all moduli space components are smooth manifolds. Necessary and sufficient conditions are also given for a collection of closed curves in to appear as the set of limits of the constant slices of a pseudoholomorphic, multiply punctured sphere.
