totally agreed on everthing except the max ping 
The maxping is a must.
I do agree on it, I mean of course it's unfair for the high pingers. I ain't saying that every tournament needs the max-ping, but if you start doing more tournaments, one or two of them should be with a maxping of 100. The other tournaments can have 200 again, but for those who want a clean not laggy match, there should be at least one with a max ping
