I sure would hope that the time limit is no longer than 30 minutes. There are some players who will take the maximum amount of time every game, even if they only need half of it. I like the shorter time limit of Tile Wars because it avoids the shenanigans of certain players wasting the time of everyone else in the tournament.

Noting the irony of this statement...

One year at GC, the Tile Wars event ran into the early morning hours because of slow play issues, lol.

Time limit for DD has always been 30 minutes, as far as I can remember.

Personally, I can't imagine how a TW game can take longer than 30 minutes unless the players have never played SWM before or are extremely drunk and are passing out between rounds.

Someone taking 45 min in DD just needs to be smacked

Isn't this your format?

I just looked in the floor rules, and it says nothing.

But - I did find the answer out in the GenCon catalogue - it's 45 min rounds.

I think I remember that time that Dennis is referring to. This was 2009, before the new strict time-limit was introduced. The Team Tourney had gone late, and then TW started after that. Most of the TW games were easily finished within 30 minutes, but there was a certain player who used nearly the full time allotment for every game. I remember that this experience was what led to the subsequent addition of the hard-and-fast time limit which we have now.
