A nice simple formula for time control of the tournament:

(maximum time length of tournament)/(maximum number of moves allowed in
the particular game)=(maximum alloted response time)

(number of moves allowed)=(total number of full turns allowed)*(number of
players in the particular game)

If a player fails to respond within the alloted time, they would
automatically forfeit the game regardless of their current position or
material gain.

You've got to be cruel.
