That doesn't seem right.

BOARD. (1) A duplicate board. (2) The table on which the cards are played. (3) The dummy's hand (etc.)
BOARD, DUPLICATE. An oblong or square board used in various forms of duplicate bridge, slotted with four sections, each deep enough to hold one quarter of a standard deck of playing cards. (etc. etc.)
I am pretty sure that definition (1) is generally used by duplicate bridge players, native and non-native speakers of English alike. So board = hand = deal. Four boards are played in 30 minutes, so that's 3 hours for 24 boards, and 3 h 30 m for 28 boards. Changing tables every four deals.
You probably thought of definition (2)?
