Welcome to what will be my 24th tournament! In this tournament, I will accept freemium and premiums. However, freemiums will need to keep three slots open at first, and then for the rest of the tourney only one slot. I will accept 42 players for this tournament.
Most games will be Sequential, sunny, escalating, automatic, and chained. Sometimes games will have round limits. If a round is to have a different setting, it shall be listed.
At the start of the contest, each player will have $10. Throughout the tournament, players will wager their money against each other in many different competitions. When a player is out of money, they are out of the tournament. At the end of the tournament, 1 player will control all of the money, and be crowned the champion. (The tournament works similarly to the way a poker tournament works, hence the name).
There will be 1v1 games, 4,6, 7, and 8 player standard games, terminator games, assassin games, doubles, triples, and quads. Partners and opponents shall be randomly chosen each round. The tourney shall progress as follows:
[spoiler]Round 1: 7 player Standard battle on the Classic map.
Buy-in: $2
Round 2: Triples battle on Montreal.
Buy-in: $2
Round 3: Quads on World 2.1
Buy-in: $3
Round 4: 6 Player Terminator on Midgard
Buy-in: $3
(With terminator games, players will take other player's buy-ins when they eliminate them)
After Round 4, players who haven't won any competitions will be completely out of money. Since the amount of remaining players is impossible to predict, players will get occasionally get byes. This won't be an advantage or a disadvantage, since players on byes won't be able to win or lose any money.
Also, if a player has less money than a buy-in is worth, they will only be able to win the amount of money they currently have from the other players. If there's a team game, all players will only be liable for the amount in which the poorest player has.

The Classic games will continue, since any one of those games could end the tournament.[/spoiler]
Realistically, I'd expect this tournament to end somewhere from Round 22-27, however I'd expect most people to be eliminated by Round 10-15. Its tough to predict these kinds of things, which is why I posted so many potential rounds.
