By the way, it has been a while since paired Tournaments were held; perhaps the problem lies in the templates, but I think it can be solved; the main thing is to start.
The problem is that the matches will be very long – you need to significantly reduce the time per turn, possibly by weakening item/passage guards. In Might and Magic III, you can read how they solved this issue in the Resurrection Tournament thread.
