Date and time are okay for me. If we play 15-10 games, 2 hours would be the minimum and it’s still not enough. Or we can play 10-5 or 5-5 games. Anyway, for a warm-up tournament it’s okay even a 15-10 game tournament for 1.5 hours.
A suggestion: we can create our accounts on lichess with the same names we have here, i.e “ek or ekchess”, “Taft or Taftchess” and so on. In other words, our sn name should be included on our lichess name account. It’s an idea, to know we are playing who. Just for fun.

I just tried to create a test tournament and I realized lichess doesn't even allow to create 15+10 games with a duration of only 90 minutes. It worked with 10+10 or 10+5.

Yeah, makes sense. When I post the tournament announcement with the password, I am going to mention that it would be cool if everyone shares their lichess profile so we know who is who but it will not be an requirement.
