Yep.

And yes, slowing down is a good thing. Few of the high scorers work 
above 30 wpm, especially on Sunday. I know a lot of hams who give up on 
SS before even sitting down because they don't feel comfortable with the 
CW speed and the long exchange.

Rather than a rules change, I'll repeat my recommendation of trading 
stations for the second day. Not only does it make Sunday a lot more fun 
for everyone, it also gives the opportunity to see how other ops have 
set up their stations, try out their gear, and get to know each other 
better. Each time I've done it, I've learned something or gotten new 
ideas or both. Part of the trading process involves each op visiting the 
other's station for an hour or two during the week before the contest.
