I'm thinking out loud here, so feel free to chime in.
If you read 23. S. 1. d and 23. S. 6. b I don't see how we are even required to accept anything on our first day after an x-day. I've got a noon SC tomorrow on my first day and the way I read stuff I have to check my schedule no later than 0200 so as to be able to ack the SC no later than 1 hour prior to when it starts. I read this to say we can't be legal for any SC period on our first day back unless we voluntarily accept it.
