You're missing my point. I'm sorry, I guess I should have gone on boring
everyone with paragraph upon paragraph of excruciating detail.
One hour is an exceedingly short and unreasonable time for the vast
majority, IMHO. And that vast majority extends far beyond those few of us
who frequent this reflector.
Making unreasonable rules changes because YOU don't trust the other
participants says, sadly, a lot more negative things about those requesting
the change than the change is worth... and that tangent is worth going into
in another thread. Suffice to say, if your goal is to chase the casual
contester out of the game, this is a good way to accomplish it.

For a competitive multi-multi, planning for this is just another task to be
worked, just like many other tasks that need to be worked for a successful
multi-multi. I'm sure that K3LR would approach this with the same zeal as
the other issues that he and his team work before, during and after the
contest.
By the way, in each WRTC, the competitors had 15 minutes to turn in their
log after the contest was over. And yes, we did think about how to
accomplish this before the contest.

Steve, N2IC
