Would also be good to have a schedule of sorts with a time frame that people should look out for an ESTourney in, would help attract people from the forums onto the game and keep people involved in the community and tourneys rather that annexed in a 2 person private server.
Definitely supported
ES tourneys are hosted whenever the ES member has time. There are no fixed slots and times can differ by 12 hours and more.
For what reason? So you can brag to other players about how much you've won?
It just seems unessecary to me, unless you want to add a prize, which I think is a bad idea too
