Sure, however, I do agree with homer that if a player loses the first 3 games, he is unlikely to continue. So what I am going to suggest is complicated, but a good suggestion along Ironhawks line.

We run the games staggered, and just process 10 turns for each.

So the schedule would be:

Games1 & 2: First 10 turns. then..
Games3&4 : First 10 turns
Games 5&6: First 10 turns.
Games 1&2 2nd 10 turns
Games 3&4 2nd 10 turns..
.
.
.
.
Once we hit turn 40, we process in groups of 2 - to keep the tension up, and to keep everyone trying... and uncertain who to gang up on.

Games 1&2: Turns 40&41
Gaems 3&4 Turns 40 & 41
Games 5&6 Turns 40 41
Games 1&2: Turns 42-43
Gaems 3&4 Turns 42-43
Games 5&6 Turns 42-43

And of course we adjust turn times as needed.
