The shortened matches aren't ideal but they're still longer than most.

If the Beeb aren't prepared to show it in full, they should give the tournament to ITV so they can televise it with the respect it deserves, rather than using it as filler until Hairy Bikers starts. Relegating evening matches to the red button is ridiculous.
