1ST ROUND TOURNEYS

Good idea.

Extension always delay a tournament. The earlier you grant them, the bigger the delay.

You've got 5 days to play a first round match. I think that's more than enough. Granted, most people work on those days, but c'mon, there's got to be some spare time left.
What are people in a QF or SF supposed to say? They have have only 2 or 3 days to schedule a match, which is WAY harder. Therefore, they occasionally get an extension.
If someone can only play on the weekend at reasonable times, then he should not sign up, IMO.

The example you're telling us is one of the most extreme. If your opponent can only play on one day for one hour, but you can offer him several days and more hours, the host knows who was more committed to schedule the match and react accordingly.
