Yes,Joe, with increments there is no maximum duration of a round.
Is there a FIDE minimum break between rounds ? If so we could calculate how many moves a game would take to infringe this minimum.
What is wrong with rolling starts ? Most players start at 10 am with stragglers up to 10.15 am. Simlarly 3pm start for round 2 with some players with long previous games starting up to 3.15 pm. This might make the increments method work.
