I also support Kyle on this issue, with a slight reservation. In official tournaments, both rating and gameplay should be taken into account, regardless of the number of participants (even if only one person plays). And in fan tournaments, the number of participants should be taken into account to recognize this tournament as both a gameplay and rating event.
But I don't think gameplay points should be awarded in fan tournaments! Let this be the prerogative of official tournaments! Otherwise, they won't be different at all! And the official one should be more significant...
Sincerely.
