Just to let you know. I participated in the previous version of this tournament. Though there were quite a few flaws in it, and it just died out.
The reason it died was because there wasn't a strict policy regarding games played. Basically, everyone who joined was invulnerable as long as they didn't join IRC or didn't get contacted, and in general people don't contact other people a lot (read: almost never).
So basically, you should enfore a rule along the lines of: "everyone who doesn't play a game per 'x' days, loses one territory", and then you have to make sure you follow that rule yourself. If people aren't obligated to contact each other, they won't. That's a basic rule here. So if one guy contacts the other, and gets no response, he should get the win. If nobody contacts the other guy, you should have a rule for that as well.
