Don't pre-register? Can't play. Go away. The log checking program will
cross-reference each sent exchange with the key to verify, as well as with
the receiving station's logs.

before and anticipate the exchange you will receive. It will close the
contest to everybody who hasn't thought to pre-register and drive the less
serious ops away in droves. Rookies will similarly be discouraged from
polluting our airspace. The remaining ops should then be able to finish the
contest in only a few hours.

You forgot something. Make everyone participate in real time scoring. With
fewer contesters it will be even easier to keep an eye on everyone.
