As somebody who's played ultiduo a lot and have considered making maps for it myself, I'll try and give you my two cents in on it.

First off, let's talk rules and logic. If I can recall correctly, the middle point opens up after about 5 to 10 seconds of the round starting. Each team's timer starts at 5 minutes, and it should take roughly 10 to 12 seconds for one person to capture the point. Respawn times (if I'm remembering correctly) is about 10 seconds for defenders and 4 for attackers. I'll need to check my memory on the logic, but that sounds about right.

If you need anymore information, let me know: I'll try and help in anyways that I can.

The respawn timers are set using the Set(Red/Blue)TeamRespawnWaveTime inputs on the tf_gamerules entity.

Just fire that input from the OnCapTeam# (1 for Red, 2 for Blu) output on the trigger_capture_area of the control point.

Important note for respawn times! Respawning in TF2 is handled by respawn waves, where the game waits to spawn multiple people at once. This means that a player not have to wait for another wave to happen to respawn, depending on three timing of their death. While there respawn wave time you set in tf_gamerules is the minimum time it takes to respawn, players may have to wait up to twice that time, plus time for the deathcam. To read up a bit more on respawn times I suggest checking the wiki page
