By default it seems tournaments deal cards 20 seconds after the tournament is started. In tournaments where "Remove No-Shows" is enabled it gives people very little time to hit their "Ready" buttons before they're kicked. If this delay before the tournament starts could be manually set it'd solve this problem.

That's not correct. As Ricky pointed out, no-show removals don't occur until after the first level is complete so as long as they show up before then and click their ready button, they will remain in the tournament.
