You bring up a good point when you said "Part of what is difficult about the Startup Weekend challenge is that building a web 2.0 business requires some planning before development can build the application." That's one reason why Birmingham is splitting the startup process into two weekends. Our first weekend will be focused on the business development aspect. We have our presentations on Sunday night, accept votes, and then announce the winner on Monday night (the 'reveal'). Basically, we want to be entering the weekend with your "18 hours of planning" already done.
