11 minutes of play turns into 3 hours and 12 minutes. I'm fairly certain that if we reviewed video every time someone had a complaint or saw something that they felt a ref missed, regionals would take upwards of a week. Or you'd get about 4 matches total out of the whole thing.

I think you are not thinking about other factors which may influence the length of a football game. By no means is the 3:12 time due to review, but to timeouts, huddles, every 15 min of play a 30 min ish break... A regional would not lengthen if a field review took place between matches during a reset.
