Why can't the USPC follow a flexible time approach, at least for those international contestants who are not participating for qualification?

It's easy to forget how recently the now "standard" internet test of 48-hour open weekend arose here on LMI. While the USPC has been running for over a decade now, being a once a year thing means it may take some time to adjust to accommodate overseas solvers. It will certainly always be "live" for US competitors, but I'll forward your concern to the organizers and see if it is something they'd think of considering in the future.
