Hi Gary. Personally I think the tournament should be for anyone, not restricted to members of FTP. I haven't got any reason to sign up for it simply because I don't have a microphone and don't have the money for one right now. I don't have the time for voice chatting with school starting again next week and all the e-mail lists I'm on, but a tournament sounds like it would be interesting. But my vote is to have an open tournament.
