On the minimum run threshold, let's hear what the masses/alumni here have to say. I used to be adamant that it was 30, then we made concessions that you could split it apart in the day to get to 30. I think that is enough and fair, but in the age of wussification of things that are supposed to be hard, well anything is possible.
My vote is for 30 minimum. No splits, no wussification.

Ever play whiffleball? Rules varied from neighborhood to neighborhood
Depending on where you played, sometimes you ran bases, sometimes you just kept track in your head [then you get into the "long" vs "high" rules = "over the top line of the telephone wires is a home run"]
Some played "4 fouls is an out"
Some played "1 strike is an out"
in THIS neighborhood: a Run = 30 minutes
If I read Dev's "wussification" 15/45 addendum properly ... you could short the first one, BUT the second one had make up the difference PLUS another 30
yes, you would get credit for TWO 30s, but that second one had to be enough more than 30 to make up the difference
If you wanted to, you could go 28/32 and claim two 30s

Honestly, why would you want to run LESS minutes than the time it takes to get ready?
OK, no smart-ass answers from Sprinters [prep all day for a race that's over in less than a minute]
