Maybe we can work on the rules slightly so more people can join.

another thought.. since it seems alot of sps are currently being requested, wondering if potentially we keep to 1/2" by 1/2" min. for 'plate' coral frags (encrusting, plating, chalice, etc.) and 3/4" min. for 'stag' coral frags if this would help as it seems alot of people are concerned about being able to make two frags.. or would this be too small for stability of frags?..
don't know if this may help put more potential frags and people in?..

Really depends on the person's coral/system. And can depend on how long ago the frags were made.
I've rescued accidental frags and chips that were about 1/8" tall.
One of the Candlelights(not the ones for the swap) is barely 3/16" tall right now and the base has encrusted to 1/4" diameter.
I have various encrusting montis that started out small like that and have encrusted and put out new growth.
Smaller can be ok if the person knows that the frag has stabilized and has been putting out new growth. I've seen fresh cut 1x1 pieces go downhill too.

Good point Mr. Ugly.
However, why take the chance? I don't think it is worth reducing standards to the point where the frags are much less likely to make it. Especially since, regardless of size, we're going to have 20 people there and less stable frags undermine many of the reasons for doing this.

some of the frags you requsted just very rare i just got a setosa and 20k lokani from Fragframers last week. Eric told me that he as distributed less than 10 frags of each. w/ the 20K lokani he as only sold two frags since he moved around the first of the year i think. Speaking for myself i have most of the frags you are after however i have gotten them in the last 2-3 mo and don't want to frag a 3/4" frag mine just need time to grow as i am sure is the case with others.
