For those that may be reading this later on, today was the first of the two-day tournament and we did 3 of the 6 rounds. Each round involved 2 games in each scenario in order to allow players to play both sides. The Memoir '44 Online application gives out a final tally of medals and figures that we had to write down and submit to the tournament admin.
@Winters I only won 2 of 6 myself, which was to be expected (kind of) since we were playing veterans. Heck, I played lenances and he told me that his profile picture is of him in the Korean War! Definitely something you don’t see everyday. Also, there were multiple people there that had previously won tournaments, and I don’t mind going home with a 2-out-of-6 score if it means I lost to really good players 
One of the things that surprised me the most was when I played gSTEWART. In the last turn he played a Their Finest Hour card against me and he was about to order 5 units. Two of those units were supposed to end the game by hunting down a lonely tank that I had in my left flank and that I couldn’t save. Before he struck the final blow he attacked me elsewhere and it really confused me. I was thinking “why is he attacking me there when the game is already over on the other side?” and then it hit me! In these sorts of tournaments, if you get tied by medals, the tie breaker is the number of figures you eliminated! So he was in fact racking up figures before he finished the game the way I thought he was going to. 
I will try to come up with a design for a badge for the forum users that have attended this tournament. Even if players join the forum after I designed it I will assign it to them as a participation token. Hope I can whip up something that looks nice on people’s profiles
