As you found out last LAN, I suggest possibly finding a way to reduce the time limit while still having legitimate games. Maybe reduce TDM score for MW3 to 5000 and the number of respawns for Gears to 10.

I figure with a 10 minute time limit for CoD it would eliminate any excess time. As far as GoW I figure as long its a one game series 2 out of 3 rounds it would be bearable time wise. The reason why we went over last time is because it was best 2 out of 3 rounds then best 2 out of 3 games. Therefore it ended up being best 7 out of 9 rounds to win the entire series. I was very naive to think that would be a good idea lol, therefore I am just doing 1 game best 2 out of 3 rounds and single elimination. I will consider lowering the # of respawns for GoW though. Thanks Mike
