Assuming the standard "6-minute cycle", the MINIMUM that 16 additional matches would take 96 minutes (or 1.6 hours). This could extend as far as 24 matches (assuming no ties), and if each of the eight new alliances used a 6-minute timeout it's the equivalent of running 32 matches. 32 matches takes 192 minutes (3.2 hours). This is assuming we never run into a "cooldown" scenario where time is given to allow the robots to cool off between back-to-back matches, which could add more time.
