I think the First 24 would be a drag for the USA West Coast, where you'd  
still have to be home from work and ready to go by 4 pm local on  Friday (for 
CW - 5 pm local daylight time for SSB).
 
If anything, the *Last* 24 sounds better - providing an influx of second  
day fresh meat for the rest of us. (Though not so good in EU or Asia)
 
If desirable to have at least regional competition running  concurrently, 
have a start time by zone, roughly from local sunrise  Saturday to sunrise 
Sunday. That's the least stress on the body.

We may  want to rethink this "First 24". How about folks of Jewish faith 
that cant get  on till sundown Saturday?? Just my .02.
