Huh?
I think the log checking is enforcing the 24 hour time limit just fine.
How else should they handle a log that is over time?
DQ the entrant?
The rule sets a time limit to the operating period.
If someone operates more than the 1440 minutes of on time then
it makes sense to me to enforce it just as they do - by removing
all the points that are made after 1440 minutes of on time.
It is not to your advantage to operate more that 1440 minutes and as far
as I can tell it harms no one.
