I actually advocated for these leagues, both for kids and adults – for fun only and it doesn’t matter if you win. You do it for the fun of running around with others. Not sure why all active but non-competitve people wouldn’t want this. Not the kicking out part — more of “graduating.”
Because getting dark before the little kids did their trick or treating was too dangerous. By postponing the change until after Halloween, it became possible to get them into their costumes and take them out on their rounds before dark. Many places don’t take advantage of that and the little people are out on unlit streets in the dark still, but lot of cities do. Doesn’t really answer the question, because I don’t think it as ever on the equinox — who wants to lose an hour’s sleep mid-week? Unless, you work on weekends of course.
