-There is no set delay between matches for preparations. Assume your next match will be immediate unless otherwise specified.
-If your team wins a best of 3, your team advances and your team rating will be increased to the rating of the team you beat plus 1.
-Draws (Win/Loss/Draw or 3 Draws) will result in no rating change and the higher ranked team advancing.

Spectators
There will be an icon in all towns that will allow you to teleport to the arena stands. When in this zone you will not be able to do most actions, you can basically only chat, spectate/inspect those who are currently fighting in the arena by clicking on their faces as they appear on the map - not on the zone list since it is a different zone. You can teleport back by stopping spectating and using the appropriate icon.
Participants
Your entire team needs to be online, GROUPED (with your full current team, no substitutions or missing members), and not in combat/resourcing/trading/crafting. You do not need to queue. You may teleport to the arena stands and spectate the other tournament fights as long as you are grouped and ready to be pulled into combat.
