I'm not sure if raising the timer would work. Imagine you are trying to win the tournament and stalling will secure you the win. I'm not sure that adding a few minutes will stop someone from stalling, especially if it means a grand prize.
I agree that a shorter time will lead to stalled matches, but what if there were consequences to stalling for a win?
There could be some difficulty in judging, but ultimately we have two crowds to please. Players and spectators. Players will do ANYTHING legal for the win, including stalling. Spectators want short, highlight worthy matches.
So if we could come up with a legit way of preventing stalling, it could be one step closer to having what both players and spectators want. Outlandish?
