That's part of how they squeeze an entire event into a single week while playing a one table format the entire time. Longer matches would probably require more days or more tables, which is not what this event is about...

The Masters would not have the same ability to draw crowds in the morning as the WC

Yeah, I get the impression that the Masters is intended to be more of a "social event" (for celebrities, upper class, etc.) than other snooker tournaments. Playing in the morning wouldn't really fit with the aura that the event seems to want to create...
