Thank you for the change to declutter the tournament structure today. It is much easier to navigate.
Something else that would be really helpful to me would be a countdown clock in hrs:mins (just above Register in the screenshot would be perfect!). This is a much easier way for me to see how much time I have to play the tournament and decide whether or not to enter. Even better would be to express it in "boards/min".
This would be similar to what is done at the supermarket. After all, A tournament is a perishable commodity.
Finally, Even if I go over time and cannot be included in the final scoring, is there any reason why I can't still play the hands I'm dealt? Since I've paid for them?

A countdown in hours and minutes is already in place The final 30 seconds showing as < before the time lapse.

I think you're talking about the start time of live tournaments, not the expiration time of daylong tourneys.
