For me ...24 hours gives me a LOT more incentive to take a shot as SO as
opposed to 48. For the most part now ...if I want to be part of a serious
operation for one of the 48 hour contests ..I'll find a Multi Op ..don't
have the butt glue to do it solo. I think Barry W2UP is right ..you can get
so many categories ..it becomes pointless ....but 24 vs. 48 seems a lot more
like ..oh .."natural categories" than say assist vs. non (yes I know we've
already had THAT discussion) ...because it brings the "when do we take off
time" factor back in.

I don't know about 2014, but I can speak to my own experience doing classic
in 2015.
I operated all but 4 hours of the first 24 hours. On the 2nd day, I operated
an hour at 06Z, and 3 hours between 14Z-17Z. That hardly required the entire
weekend to be invested.
I'll be #2 or #3, depending on log checking.

investing the whole weekend in the contest.
