What exactly are you expecting in ways of a tournament?

It might help if you used a spell checker, people typically read and respond better to posts that are well formatted.

If you're talking about some sort of actual tournament where there is a bracket / schedule and /or prizes to be won or winners to be declared, you're in the wrong game. Paintball is the one with money riding on it (sponsors), but in airsoft we're just playing to have fun, and if you happen to win, hopefully it's not at the cost of sportsmanship and making the losing team never want to play you again.

Putting prizes or money on the outcome of the game will definitely bring out the worst in people. People might not call their hits, or even worse: people will accuse other people of not calling their hits.

I like this guy already, he seems to understand the foundation of airsoft and honor.

Ultra, there are no tournaments. Only friendly games where people meet new people and compete against comrades in a friendly competition where the winners win absolutely nothing other than a sense of good teamwork and an appreciation for competing against a skilled opponent.

To find games or Ops, just look around on the board and you will find them.  Just be prepared to drive a minimum of an hour to get to any decent and remotely unpopulated AO due to the nature of the AEG's.

abe if your team is over 18 you could come out to our games (Rebel Union), I would definitely be able to put together some worthy opponents to test your teams ability to work together.

This Saturday, there's a pretty good sized game up in Prescott. If you come on up (over 18, or 16+ with a parent on site).

Hah, are two days the threshold of manliness? Anything over is a loss of a man-card?

Getting back on topic, there have been some big scenarios in the past where there were to be 4 or 5 games and the setting of each one was contingent upon the outcome of the previous one - meaning you actually should care about winning. But again, there was no physical prize to be claimed by winning.
