Sure, I think that's a good approach.

In the past, we've asked for more participation from the community
during our practice sessions, but in reality, UDS is usually a pretty
intense week from a work perspective, and a lot of folks don't have the
bandwidth, nor desire to practice.

One thing I would request though is that folks that don't practice
during the week, don't automatically assume that they can play during
the earlier set.
