Description
Some automatization of tournament games would be nice for lots of reasons (auto, faster results uploading, spectators being informed immediately, even players being informed that they really play tournament game :P).
So the initial support could be done in some easy way like this:
/cmd settourney EQL
This would enter tournament mode, same like you enter 4on4 mode on the server.
Tournament mode means:
- It is visible during countdown (therefore recorded in the demo)
- It is visible in lastscores
- Late-coming spectators are able to see it (somehow, maybe print it for them in the console, maybe add fake spectator)
- Server counts rounds (round 1, round 2, ...)
- it is visible in serverinfo (somehow), therefore visible in the serverbrowser; should think about propagating the text even to QTV Now Playing page!
Later uploading of the results to some central server could be done.

Do you mean than for now, all it should do is display a tournament "tag" in various places?

There is no way I am willing to allow my servers to connect some random place and submit some random data there, they are just not meant to do that.
Regarding rest of the features, I just don't see any point on most them. Tournaments use pretty much the same rules system so command /4on4 should be enough on almost always. You can also check /lastscores (I hope QTV will have this feature sooner or even sooner). But yeah, there are some good points too. If I go to watch some game and it's tournament game, I'd like to know it for sure so giving the match/motd/whatever some name would be good.
Also the command would be more like /4on4 eql or /2on2 nnql or /1on1 duelmania.

Some more thoughts as nothing is happening with this:
Renzo's suggestion is good, I like it, another one is:
/cmd tag <name>
where name is one word that'd be displayed in lastscores, later in QTV page, you could cmd dlist demos with given tag
default value would be "prac"
And most important: it'd be displayed in the countdown - so that the players know what they are playing. On the other side they might get confused if they don't know how to change it. (If they want to play NQR but the server still says "prac")
What do you think?
