Hey I'm not on a team am I? I could judge in the tourney or something, if it isn't too late.

Okay, this is pathetic sounding, I'm sure... but what do we do in a tourney?
Entrant 1: During my prep I do blah blah blah.
Entrant 2: During my prep I do blah blah blah.
After the "prep" period(which is normally sent in to the host by PM, so the teams don't know what the others are initially planning), then the participants spent a designated number of post(or a specific amount of time) picking apart their opponents strategy, while attempting to lend credit to their own.
Entrant 1: Well if you do (insert opponents strategy here) then my can can just respond by (insert counter strategy here). And your prep's not going to work anyway, because(insert discrediting comment questioning the validity of opponents prep time strategy).
Entrant 2. No my prep time strategy WILL work because(shows evidence to support initial claim). And if you (insert opponents counter strategy) my guy can just (insert counter, counter strategy).
And it continues for the course of the match.
The winner is decided by a team of (usually) 4 judges at the end, with a poll in place in the event of a tie. The winner(s) move on to the next round, and face whoever else has one until there is a tourney winner.
Now I probably made that all sound a lot more complicated than it really is(it's actually fairly simple), but that's basically what happens. If you want, I can post some links to past tourney matches, that way you can read up on them(like I said I probably made it sound harder than it really is).

I'm not sure if I'm in or not... I've been uber busy lately, but I would like to see a link to other tourneys and stuff, so I got an idea of what's actually going on. To be a judge, do you have to be available all day?

And as long as your able to post at somepoint on the appropriate day, you should be ok to judge. There's no specified time to judge.
