New Monthly 2 Player Tournaments

Reposting by blurb from the Announcement forum post here for visibility.
I've played this game a bunch in person and am happy to see it added to BGA. Great adaptation!
I have taken ownership of tournament creation and will be creating 2 tournaments per month for 2 player. Links to the first 2 tournaments here:
Starting Feb 27 at 14:00 UTC - https://boardgamearena.com/tournament?id=363717 -Swiss with top cut. Try and get 4-1 record or better to advance to single elimination finals. This is the closest to a "Double Elimination" tournament that we can make on BGA with the current tournament settings. The idea is to be a bit more forgiving than a single elimination tournament and allow players to stay in the tournament for longer with at least 5 matches.
Starting March 2 at 14:00 UTC https://boardgamearena.com/tournament?id=363721 - 6x6 Double Robin meaning 6 groups of 6 players with round robin for both stages, 1 player from each group advances so stage 2 is also 6 players. This is a busier, more intensive tournament than the Swiss since you get 5 games starting at once (but longer game duration), but I've kept the group size reasonable to make it more popular and minimize players feeling overwhelmed with too many games!
Feel free to DM me for an invite if you are under 100 Elo. Future tournaments will be made later after observing player counts for these tournaments. Also, these tournaments are "Safe" to sign up for, meaning that they require a reasonable minimum player count to start, otherwise they will be cancelled at the tournament start time.
I strive to make enjoyable tournaments for everyone so we can grow player communities on BGA. I treat tournament creation seriously, trying to ensure great settings so everyone has a good time, similar to inviting all of you to my house for a board game night. I'm always open to suggestions for future tournaments. My tournaments each had their own custom icon so players can identify them easily in the list and know the expected settings at a glance. 2 player tournaments will be 1-2 month long in duration and hosted monthly so newer players can always hop in and join the community!
