As it stands at the moment they are fixed in the approx center of each region so you are right in that there is a high chance of those areas becoming very popular  especially if more people decide to run tournaments.

Question - are the tournament tiles permanently placed ?

If so, I can see that the area around them is gonna get awfully crowded.

If not, then could I suggest that the exact location of any future tournament tiles remains undisclosed until shortly before the start (perhaps a few hours or a day ?)

Your tournament your rules! Just make sure they are stated clearly beforehand so that nobody can argue with you about them when they are enforced.

I have had several "spy armies" who camped outside of the tournament square targeted and eliminated in the name of the tourney. I expected it. I'm not mad over it. It was all a part of the tournament. I believe if you exo a city very near the target square you should be fair game. However, the problem comes in when a tournament square is chosen very near an existing city. That person did not move there to gain an advantage and as such should not be a target. It is too difficult for a person running the tournament to have to mediate these disputes on top of all the rest that needs to be done. Leave it the way it is. 

By the way, GREAT tournament kodabear! Thank You!

The best thing future people who run Tournament is to disqualified the alliance/player who sieges a player in name of the Tournament

Even if Kodo said siege wasn't allowed.  Its not like he could do anything to prevent a siege of an opposing city.  

Reminds me of an old tourney where it was alliances vs global stuff.  For a while nobody attacked each other then some of the winning people got attacked.  At the time it was considered fair game and no one escalated to war.  But there isn't anything stopping from the entire server devolving into war during the tourney.

Indeed - the person who creates the tourney also decides the rules. However there is one caveat - if the tourney is to be a "success" then the opinions of the participants should be taken into consideration when deciding the rules. 

Of course you will never please everyone - that's life - but if the rules are known beforehand, those who don't like it don't have to take part.

Personally I have enjoyed this tourney greatly, and learned much - on many levels - and look forward to see how things pan out at the finishing line. 

As for exoing to near a tourney tile for the purpose of gaining an advantage in the tourney, my view is that such cities then become a part of the tourney and therefore a valid target, as scouting armies placed near a tourney tile to "spy" on the tile have been in this tourney. I have had an "army" eliminated for this - hey ho - that's the price.

Perhaps another option is an exclusion zone where cities within a certain radius - say 5 tiles - are excluded from participating. 

Lots of things to debate, but that is for the future, lets crack on with this one for now, and learn from it.

I for one couldn't care if a war started because of my Tournament in fact i think it would be pretty funny if one did :) but not everyone has my level of conscientious and may feel bad or very guilty if there Tournament  caused people to be razed or caused people to quit the game.  (just something to think about when you are voting on this meaningless poll)

whether or not you personnel not want the person who is running the Tournament to have to deal with this stuff but what is going to happen is that they will get IGMs about this stuff. (30% of the IGM i have gotten that had to do with the Tournament are about "what is cheating and not". plus if people think its ok to siege people during a Tournament that is likely to put people off of doing Tournament as they wont want to be the cause of a war

Can we not give a busy person more to do please, I for one would not want to see others discouraged from trying to run tounaments because people want to tell them how it should be run.
