No resistance from me. I won't be competing in this category.
At the end of the day, the question needs to be asked."what's the goal
here?" Is it to allow people who really can compete to feel like they are
competing? Or is it to create a new opportunity to allow people willing to
compete that is not quite as strenuous. Can't do both with one answer in my
opinion.

Why the resistance to "interleaving"?
Perhaps those with "a life" beyond contesting might be tempted to cobble
together a 24-hour entry around their family or work obligations.
Or should we discourage such unworthy "wannabe" contesters?

contest in a "normal family or work activity weekend"
it kills that right at the outset. After all, it's a
competition, not an "open house" folks..
