Suggestions on running first private Hive tournament

[i_tyrone]

Hi,
I’m new to the site and wanting to run a private Hive tournament among friends who are new to the game and site. Looking for tips & suggestions.
1. Curious how time-based matchups work- do participants schedule their game or is that determined by system
2. How are ties handled or what happens when time expires and winner hasn’t been declared
3. What’s appropriate days, etc for 20 person tourney.
Thanks so much!
