Not at all. Simply change the time controls so that each game takes no
longer than HALF the amount of time left until the end of the hall
rental. Disciplined use of this strategy will allow you to play an
unlimted number of games.


If you are going with an unlimited amount of games, how about having
it so the first player win with white and black would be the world
champ? You throw out draws. Halving the time per game is like the
solution of blitz as an overtime solution.
