Our first year, we went on for about four weeks; far too long. This year, we had one Saturday morning (we did an FLL fast start that afternoon), Two Monday evenings, one Thursday evening, and one six-hour Saturday, a total of about 16 hours. Those trying out did not have to be there the whole way through, as we ran it in stations; they only had to get through all of them. One highly motivated prospect started late and did about 90% on the full Saturday. Next year it will probably be a bit shorter than this year, probably more like 12 hours. The important thing is to have each station be short enough or allow enough people to do them simultaneously that you don't have one or two stations that everyone is waiting on.
