Depends on how many people you expect to show up, and pay of course. Because then you could spread the wealth by offering the typical RTT best appearance, and best general in addition to the 2 you've already listed.

(sorry if that came off the mean the internet doesn't convey mood or tone very well)

But in terms of the rest, the general setup seems fine so far. Games? If it's going to be one day do 3, similar scores play similar scores (no one-sided fights now ). If 2 is more to your liking then do 5, your call there. I recommend 1 day because then it's not a total road block for the rest of my weekend; errands, family, etc. I don;t know how to answer etc. unfortunatley but if you want a scoring system or want to know hoe I run my tournaments just ask.

Hahaha naw but I've got to try that sometime. (drawing out of a hat)

RTT = Rogue trader tournament, which has 4 awards: best overall (1st), best general (2nd), best sportsman, and best appearance (best painted) and strangely enoguh the only one I havn't won is best sportsmen but thats another story for another day .

Yes you (or whomever the director be) pairs people up (randomly really) for the 1st round, from then on it's winners against winners (or draws with full points, but that's later) losers and draws against each other (once again though depends on battle points). Losers are never completely out of the running as I've dominated in round 1, lost in round 2, and then dominated again to obtain a best general.

So to answer your question yes, max of 3 games per person (3HR time limit as a suggestion with lunch/dinner in between one of the games) against random people (directors choice) on an equal level (this goes back to winner V. winner)

Now here's a simple points system to make my explanation make sense:
Win - 5pts
Draw - 3 pts
Loss - 1pt

then like I said earlier how "full point" draws play winners there's typically some bonus objectives like (another simple one)
- Did you kill your opponents highest HQ +1
- Did you kill all your opponents scoring units +1
- Did you kill your opponents Highest point cost unit +1

so to break the whole "pool" down again, after your first game (when you now have scores) 8's would play 8's 5's on 6's ans so on.

Once again if you're still unclear or want advice lemme know.
