Thanks for clarifying Mel. The waterfall will make all the difference if there's dozens of people calling near each other. I've seen it during Field Day on PSK31, where the whole waterfall is a giant mass of CQs.... but you can tell who is who because of the waterfall. With the visual feedback it's easier to spread out.
It seems inevitable that folks will step on each other every once in a while if its crowded, simply because they can't hear or see each other on the waterfall due to propagation.... and this is pretty common on PSK31 too. Judging from the digital text modes though it seems to work itself out as the stronger station gets answered, and then snippets of the weaker station's call sign come through and the DX station getting called will say "Whiskey 5 come back", or similar. Certainly not as good a contest mode as CW or SSB but it seems like it should be manageable even if a rare DX entity comes on air and is pounced...
