True, it might not be possible for every single person in a guild to partake in this due to schedule or whatever and it would be stupid for one guild to forfeit because the only guy that hasn't gone yet can't log on.
The beauty of FG's is that they spawn every 8 hours. It can be done any spawn before the deadline for the week. We'd have to agree on priority for a guild doing FG's for their race, but FG's are on such farm status by both raiding guilds that this isn't a problem as I forsee it (how many times have FG's been fought over? none?).
EDIT: Also, especially as an up and coming raid guild, FG's are a major target anyway. This is something you need to do anyway to farm loot to be more dragon/planar ready. It can be done on your schedule with a minimum of coordination from the other concerned guilds (1 or 2 witnesses from each involved organization).

The main reason I said everyone at first stems from my personal view on having other people decide whether I get to raid or not.
This is a totally valid concern of an up and coming raider, and I think that you should ask around and see if FG's are as hard as you may think. Also, remember that this system is modelled around a duel-for-pick ethic, which means that even if you lose, you still get at least one if not 2 or 3 raid targets.

It's also not a measure of a guilds sum of skill, which is what raiding is, so I think whatever you do to be able to raid should reflect that as well.
While this is true, it seemed like the major gripe of the involved parties with the duel system was that it was not PVE. This is at least a PVE solution, with many advantages as I see it over the other system, which has been accepted as at least a major contender in any agreement raid guilds might come to.
