I looked at the rules three times and couldn't find the turn time limit listed.

Its on the tournament website

24 hours would be off limits to a lot of players, me included.

At any rate, 48hrs would get us through 100 turns in 6-7 months. So there's a chance we could finish before SeV comes out. At least the first round.

Perhaps a medium tech start with medium tech cost will speed things along a bit?

Not that I mind 6-12 month games Geo, but I guess it will be hard to committ to the tournament once SEV is out

My suggestions are: 3 Planets and Medium tech cost. Think that would make the games a lot quicker, having a clear winner in 80 turns or so.

Imagine you are in a game to win a copy of SE5 and the game comes out. And people are scarfing it up and talking about how great it is. Could you wait? And if you went ahead and bought a copy and then won, it would render the prize a bit redundant.

Having said that, I haven't even read when it is expected to go into Beta. And Beta should take 3-6 months, shouldn't it?

Anyway, just running my mouth. I'm still in no matter.
