Just a couple comments.
1. Why would you need the "blessings" of the CQWW contest director? What you are doing is totally apart.
2. That being said, I would suggest that you NOT open up your site to receive logs until AFTER the CQWW deadline has passed (expired). That aspect could, in theory, impact the log content of some logs submitted to CQWW.
Good luck!

Agreeing Dougzzz suggestion about collecting participant logs for this one.
CQ WW will accept logs for 5 days after the test.
This 24 hour activity could accept logs from start of day 6 until as long as seen feasible.
I support this initiative especially if there is some structure to accept also entrants who have operated more than 24.0 hours.
My suggestion is to let those entrants select the 24.0 hours they want to allocate for this 24 hour activity.

Operating more than 24 hours and then cherry picking the best 24 kind of defeats the purpose of a 24 hour category - which has been billed as creating a competitive category for ops not able to devote an entire weekend to the event.
Pick your 24 hours (no preference on the 24 hour definition) and operate. If you miss an opening, or the flare hits during your operating period....well, that's the way it goes. Your time is up 24 operating hours after your first QSO.

This 24h challenge is a contest inside CQ WW.
Intent is to increase activity.
Or better put, to maximize the activity.
Why drive to limit the activity to 24 hours?
I choose to drive maximizing the activity.
That is the purpose of the original idea if I understand it correctly.
Worrying about giving a competitive edge to the people operating more than 24 hours:
More hours eats the score of the extra hours.
I doubt the score will increase after the first 24.0 hours.
If it does, the increase is very marginal.
To discourage people from making more contacts is not an idea I would support.
More is More. It is also More Fun.
