You cannot forsee unexpected delays, so even if you do your job right, if you start running behind, you know for sure it won't get better.
If we follow the logic of "plenty of spare time", then tourneys will be limited to 16 teams per court per day, with 10 minute matches? (maybe I'm exagerating a bit)
But when you see a registration like the one at Rouen or Greifmasters, that are closed within 2 minutes of them opening, it makes you wonder about restricting even further the amount of teams for the sake of uncapping the goal limit.
Yes, that's unfortunately the downside. If you do unlimited goals you have to allow for 5 minute turnarounds between games (which will hopefully be less), you have to allow for 10 minutes of timewasting/injures per hour.
For the LII we allowed 4 x 10 minute games an hour, and it still wasn't enough (and that wasn't unlimited).
I don't think the unlimited goals thing will make it that much worse, we already have the problem that we have far more teams interested in top tournament than there is realistic court time for, and I don't think the first-come-first-served registration is the best way to go. It might be fair, but as an organiser, I'd rather have the best teams that want to come, not the quickest.
So the solutions are more courts (unrealistic without more funding)
More time (unrealistic without being semi-pro)
Less teams, the only option left.
