Length of PFS scenario

So im signing up for GenCon PFS scenarios and i was wondering if they really do run the full 5 hrs on a normal basis? Cause i would like to sign up for another scenario right after my first one to continue my character but the first one ends at 1pm and the next one starts at 1pm..just wanted to hear from someone with xp if they end a little early normally or not...thanks :)

Actual time may vary depending on any number of factors, including but not limited to the specific scenario (some of them do tend to run longer than others, and earlier season scenarios, in general, tend toward being a bit shorter), how well your party handles the mechanical encounters, how well you as players stay on target and move things along. While there is no "usual," the hope for most cons that schedule back to back slots is that you have about half an hour between the end of one scenario and the beginning of the next.

At GenCon, they're usually really good about enforcing time limits so everyone gets a little time off between scenarios.

Another good rule of thumb (not always perfect, but I've noticed it) is that 1-5s take less time than 3-7s take less time than 5-9s take less time than 7-11s.
