I am thinking about setting up such a beast.  There would be several
styles of tournaments that could be used, including the double-elimination
and the round robin that we are all so used to.  

I have currently two ways of setting it up... the KotH style which means
watching mail... or the server way, where you can telnet to it and 
actually interact with it... (which has lots of advantages, but of 
course is available to less people).  I will probably set up both
types, since there is no reason why I should be limited to just
one or the other.

I have been writing away at tournament software stuff for the corewar
game and have had pretty good success.  It would be very interesting
to try it out in the "real world"... :-)
