Tournaments are coming out and they're gonna be awesome to start with and much needed.
I can envision a ton of people creating tournaments and making fun variations to them in addition to the tournaments 
What i'm even more excited about are the many upgrades that they'll be able to make to tournaments:
I'd love to see a tournament much like we were conceptualizing back in the day... where you can do a flurry of acvitity before heading off to work or school and then watch the results of the tournament play out later that day. Meaning people don't have to worry about all being online at the exact same time. Back when steemmonsters was created we all talked about a game you could spend a bit of time playing but all day thinking about.
Here's how I envision one option.
During the course of a day or a week or even a month you play everyone in the tournament.
Let's say there are 40 people in the tournament so you have a week to finish your games perhaps and you play everyone once or 2 or 3 times.
So you would essentially during the course of a week submit your teams 40/80 or 120 times. The system would tell you the game rules (mana, game variation, which colors) you'd submit a team and then later that week when the second person submits you'll be able to see the results.
Like a typical swiss/round robin style you give points (or remove) for: wins / losses / draws / forfeits. By the end of the week you're expected to have played all your games but you'll see the rankings as games finalize.
Maybe instead of a 2 minute timer since it's not a LIVE game you maybe have to make sure you submit within 1hr or even 24hrs of seeing the rule set of the game.
Tournament organizer can set up how many spots are available and then how long they have to finish up their games. And it's not like you have to wait on anyone else. People could maybe even get every game finished in a morning. Set it and forget it.
Heck i wouldn't mind setting up a tournament for 100-200 
Sound just like how professional sports works? Right?
That seems like a pretty well worked out system!
