Yes, I think this is the sort of thing that is needed. Probably two referees
would still be a good idea, in order to help each other compose the
challenge, to respond to mail more quickly, and to work on BoB together. But
neither of them need to be on duty for forty-two hours in the week, as we've
come to expect. I would be happy to play under such a system, and I might
even be able to referee occasionally.
