That depends on the tournament. Also, that doesn't mean you ignore any rules because of the time limit.
He didn't say the game was over because it timed out, but because of a forfeit which could have been effected by 5.4.B, C, D or E.
Don't know if I would have been so quick to pull that trigger, but the umpire is certainly within the rules to forfeit the game.
