Good idea artfizz, but the elapsed time would be 366 days as 2012 is a leap year ;)
Agree with you though!

Only 13 months!
This one ... a-very-long-tornement ... is closing in on its 3-year anniversary.
In the statistics collected for completed tournaments, it would be helpful to show the tournament END date {illustrated in RED below} in addition to the START date. e.g.
TD: White_Rabbit

This would give greater transparency to how long tournaments actually take, and should provide data for forecasting likely end dates. (Other bits of data - such as whether vacation was allowed - would be needed data to make complete sense of the data.)
