These tournaments sound interesting, how do they usually work?
Well, most tournament threads have a link to the rulepacks (check the Tournament Posting section), and most, if not all, have subtle differences between them, but briefly.
1 or 2 days
3-4 games (one day)/5-7 games (2 days)
Various TR/TV - normally between 100 and 120
Most are "resurrection" style - i.e your team is "reset" between rounds, although some "league-style" tournaments exist.
Various methods of given additional skills.
Most use "swiss" to decide who plays who - basically, round 1 is random, then players with the same score are drawn against each other for the following rounds, so in theory, the best 2 players will face in the final game.
Various points systems.
That's a basic overview, but as I said, most tournaments will vary.
