35 teams x 7 matches / 4 teams per match x 6 minutes per match = Approx 360 minutes = 6 Hours.
This is 6 hours if everything runs like clockwork. This doesn't include a lunch break, opening/closing ceremonies, etc. Also, only a single field is implicit in the time per match.
I agree that this can be done, but you can safely bet that many events that attempt to stick to a schedule like this will run long.
Of course I'm in the camp that likes longer (multi-day) FVC events....
