RTS Games for once, instead of 1st person all the time for Tournaments.

If the event is scheduled to last 36 hours, and each tourney participant may join multiple tournies, but if an overlap does occur, will be forced to forfeit a match of their choice. What happens if any of you are in an RTS tourney, and it's time to play a round of another tourney you're a part of? Which one would you choose?
Why ask this? It wouldn't be fair to others if the person holding up one tournament was playing out a round in another tourney.
An RTS tourney could be measured in hours! Even if it were only single-elim, the moment the parcipant list is greater than 8 people, you're looking at a a tourney that could possibly last a good portion of the day.
It's not a bad idea, but what makes CoD4, TF2 and CS:S ideal for tournaments is that the total time for each match can be measured in minutes not hours.
In 36 hours, it won't be a solid 36 hours of tournament time. The tournament admins will need some down time (you know, sleep? Eat? Etc?), which would probably be about 6 hours a night or 12 hours out of the total 36. So that makes, 4+10+10 (fri/sat/sun). This could possibly be broken up by several raffles, let's say 4 @ 45 minutes each. So that's another 3 hours less of tourney time = 4+8.5+8.5
An RTS tourney is do-able. But if you participated in it, you probably wouldn't be able to be in any other tournament that was going on at the same time.

Company of Heroes could go by pretty quickly... most of my 1v1 games were 10 minutes long
