By what time must an alliance have their defenses selected?

Correct, I found it in 5.5.10.1:

Prior to each round of Qualification and Playoff MATCHES, the audience selects one of the DEFENSES used by both ALLIANCES on the FIELD

.

Rounds for Playoffs are defined in a table as well.

I was beginning to worry about needing to have 9 or 10 minute match separations!
