All in all a good tournament, but I have issues with the combination of "all points matter" and strict 3 hour limit. It would be much better if we had simple major/minor win ratings like in many places in the english speaking world, which would allow us to relax and not have bad feelings for one small misunderstanding over 2 points. It would also mean that we wouldn't have to simulate all 5 rounds every time (sometimes you know whether you're in for a major win at bottom of 3). I also think that 20-0s for big point difference are bad for the game, penalising fragile lists (ex: Slaanesh or Skaven) and reducing the variety of the lists (omg SO many giants and trolls just to avoid 20-0s OR to play fast).
It went overall well and fun for me, but one less experienced player from my club had some feels-bad moments which made him not enjoy the tournament because of the sweatiness of it all: just reduce it to major/minor and people will cool a bit. Otherwise we risk losing new players and keep reducing attendance...
