While it's a nice idea, in retrospect, your method is sort of flawed. You state the time, but you did not state the time-zone upon which you leave, thus leaving people with the lack of time placement. You live in the United States, according to your information and if I'm correct, the country spans five different time zones, (including Alaska, plus more for Hawaii, I believe). This kills any possible organization of your efforts, so you may want to include your time zone.
Also, to ensure that no one was cheating in this race, or a confused winner isn't declared, it would require more than simply your efforts. People's games run at different paces, and so you would have to have multiple witnesses to the winner. It would also be troublesome to keep up with (assuming it was a fair number involved) the participants in with the Temple's regular crowd.
In summary, nice idea, but it needs a bit of refining and possibly a bit more assistance and support for it to be an actual big thing.
