Yes, your arrows have to be "period"  which for most SCA archers simply 
means that they simply have to move to self nocked or horn nocked arrows.

Yes it is the same  30 seconds.

You can read all of the Royal Rounds rules from the Royal Rounds pages 
via  http://archery.ansteorra.org

Nope doesn't suck at all.  Just perhaps a lower percentage of the 
crossbowmans score is from the timed ends.  Consider that the highest 
Royal Rounds average in Ansteorra right now is the only crossbowman with 
an average.  Consider also that the highest current score in the IKAC 
open division is from a crossbowman and in the IKAC period division the 
two highest scores are from crossbowman.  It evens out and a practiced 
crossbowman is not significantly handicapped in the Royal Rounds or the 
IKAC by having the timed ends.
