How about doing something like this?

Instead of three tournaments a day, make it six (maybe seven) tournaments per day.

Instead of 40 people per tournament, make it 20.

Instead of 12 people getting paid per tournament, make it top 6.

This will keep these tedious tournaments to under an hour, and will give everyone an opportunity to find a comfortable timeslot. Lastly, open all registration for tournaments at midnight EST.
