With a time control of 60/10...
--------
Saturday
--------
Round 1: 8AM
Round 2: ASAP after round 1 is over

(Probably around 12:00 or 12:30PM after round 2)
Lunch break: 12:00 or 12:30PM

Round 3: 1:00 or 1:30PM (depending on what time round 2 ended and how long we
allow for a lunch break)

Round 4: 4PM
Round 5: 6 or 6:30 PM

And your day would be over by 8 or 9 in the evening. That makes for a long day
though. Sunday would be basically the same, maybe start an hour later or
something. It's doable, but with the time increment it could go longer and make
for a really long day for some.

I think we should also consider international schedules. For example, playing 12
or 13+ hours one day might be ok if it means I get up at 8AM and we finish
around 9PM, but if I lived in another country and it started at 8PM and went to
9AM the next day, and I have to be at work at 8AM on Monday, that's not going to
work for me, so maybe a two weekend tournament is better. Then again, it means
that some people will have to be up half the night for two weekends instead of
one. Just something to think about.
