Ten minutes is a good amount of play time but anything above 20 minutes makes most readers lose attention. Also you shouldn’t judge by lines. Lines vary from author to author but a good 1000- 1500 is considered what you should have at least. But it depends on how advanced your directing is. And it also depends on your reading speed and how much they are getting for the pass they use to read. If it is ten minutes of absolute cr*p to make it fit a ten minute slot then it really is not worth it. I would make a varied amount of people read it who you think will give you honest feedback.
