Re: [FVC]: Longer competitions

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....
