Option for 45, 60, 90 day Tournament Rounds

I know it's an issue for the BGA website rather than a Heat specific thing, but I'm posting it here to drum up support for an option that is very relevant to Heat.
Not only would this allow more tournament games to finish. As many probably know, with the max length you can set a tournament round to currently being 30 days, it effectively makes it impossible to create a Championship mode tournament and the rounds complete. I get DM'd a lot about Championship tournaments, and I always have to say the same thing that currently imo they're pretty much a waste of time, as a single race in a tournament setting tends to take around 14-21 days with 4+ players, the majority of games simply won't complete within the current maximum 30 day round length, so they just end in disappointment.
Upvote this suggestion, and hopefully we can get the option for longer tournaments rounds.

#3 has been implemented for Heat, that now if someone leaves the game, the game plays to conclusion regardless.

The 60 and 90 day option for round length in tournaments is now there. It should help a lot with those looking to run Championship tournaments, I'd strongly recommend using 60 day rounds if you are wanting to do 5+ players Championship tournaments.

Thanks! For some reason I was looking for the green thumb in the forums page, but I found it in the bugs page.
