Yes, I've done rough timings.
If
16-man double elim
5-min time limit
best of 3 for prelims
best of 5 for finals
29 prelims x 3 rounds x 6 minutes = 522 mins or 8.7 hours
+
2 finals x 5 rounds x 6 minutes = 60 mins or 1 hour
for a rough total of 9.7 playing hours. Note that the number is quite padded for contingency (to account for procrastination, loading times, mishaps, etc).
If we have two sets of linked PS2s, we can effectively halve the 29 prelims to 5 hours. Otherwise, we might have to go Split screen across 3 PS2s until maybe the 12th match.
I'd prefer that people just eat whenever they're not in the middle of a match, but the games just keep going.
