Re: 60 second set-up / pack-up time?

The big issue isn't strictly ruling on the 60 second time... it's on maintaining the pace and turn around time of the matches. Imagine, if you would, everyone taking an extra 15 seconds. With a 60 team event and every team getting 10 qual matches, that's 100 matches, or an extra 1500 seconds - almost half an hour added to the day. The head ref, FTA, field reset, and others around the field are going to be doing everything they can to avoid having that happen.
