Assuming no pools are done and only singles bracket and we use all 20 TVs at once (40 people), single elimination, we have an 8 minute timer for each game.
Maximum time for a set: 24 minutes
Estimated "get up, sit down, set up, get up" time: 1-2 minutes. We'll say one.
25 minutes per set.
40 people / 2 = 20 (25 min)
20 / 2 = 10 (25 min)
10 /2 = 5 (25 min)
5 /2 = 2 +1 bye (25 min)
3 / 2 = 1 + 1 bye (25 min)
2 /2 = 1 victory (25 min)
150 min / 60 min = 2.5 hours
Maximum time for single elimination tournament using every setup from 1 round: 2 hours 30 minutes.
Since double elimination roughly takes double the amount of time and important sets generally take about half as long to play as their max time (12 minutes, give or take a few):
Estimated time for double elimination tournament with 40 players using every setup from 1 round with an estimated 12 minute set time: 2 hours 30 minutes.
Considering we normally do pools, with 40 players and 20 TVs we can have 8 pools of 5 (= 40 players) and eliminate 8 to get to 32 players (standard bracket) which approximates to 2.5 TVs per pool. This means some have 3 TVs, some have 2 TVs, and the pool play speeds up as pools finish if bottlenecking by rude players doesn't occur.... or would if you didn't have an odd number.
Using the standard 12 minute set time, everyone in the pool has to play 4 sets (48 minutes total). Using only 2 TVs, meaning one person constantly sits out. That's effectively a total of 20 sets per pool.
With two TVs all playing simultaneously, if everything goes well and there is no bottle necking you should be able to finish it in the time of 10 sets. Basically, 120 minutes (2 hours). Because it's pools, you can generally take off about 2 minutes per set, so it'd be about an hour and a half for pools to be finished.
1 hour 30 minutes
2 hours 30 minutes
4 hours for 40 people using maximum efficiency, 20 setups, double elimination with pools of 5 to eliminate to 32 players (1 removed per pool).
To be realistic, add 30 minutes for people missing, food, bottlenecking, etc., etc.
4 hours and 30 minutes estimated total time.
So you're close.
