Suggested Features for Swiss Tournaments

For swiss tournaments at classical time controls:

G/45+5 and G/45+45 are popular time controls. But when creating a swiss tournament, 45 can't be set as the main time control nor can 45 be set as the increment. It would be great to have that allowed.

At the moment, if an opponent doesn't show up to start his game, you have to wait for the entire time control to get the forfeit win. This is unrealistic (though it is like OTB) in the case of classical time controls. I'd like to suggest that 15 minutes is a sufficient time to wait for this. Especially since there is no rating change for this anyway (and it seems correct to have no change). Or, this would also be mitigated if pairings were made from only players present at start time rather than all who had earlier joined. And in this case it is still also possible to withdraw those who didn't show.

Thanks for considering these suggestions!

a 45+45 game can last 3 hours if they reach 60 moves. For a swiss tournament that means 1 or maximum 2 rounds/day. So such a tournament will span several days.
A league is then better and actually a 45+45 league exists.

"At the moment, if an opponent doesn't show up to start his game, you have to wait for the entire time control to get the forfeit win. This is unrealistic (though it is like OTB) in the case of classical time controls. "
Over the board there used to be an allowance to be 1 hour late, but this is no longer so: in a FIDE competition if you are 1 minute late, you now lose by default.

@tpr - Multi-day swiss tournaments are now possible which is what I'm currently organizing. I do know a little something about running negotiated time tournaments, but that isn't what my suggestions are primarily about.

@dopstra - Thanks for the reference to your thread. It raised a question for me: is kicking someone from a team effectively a ban? If so, can that be reversed? Also, thanks for the reference in the other thread for the Lichess Swiss team. I was unaware of it.
