For those of you who have the "everyone in" tournaments, how long do they run?

In Michigan, our tournament lasts 3 weeks. Teams play 2 or 3 games the first week, 2 games the second week, and 3 the third. There are 4 classes of schools, based upon enrollment, so you end up with 4 state champions.
By the way, I loved the mercy rule we had for the past 3 seasons, and am sorry that it was discontinued. At the request of coaches, we implemented the rule 1 time this year, and 1 time we intentionally failed to correct a timer who did not know that the mercy rule had been eliminated. I've seen quotes from NFHS members who believe the running clock with a 40-point second-half lead will become an NFHS rule soon.
