A: Tournaments are designed to be a one-off competition in a Bracket style position system. That means that potentially a person signed up may only get to play a single match in a Tournament that runs several weeks. Tournaments are great for establishing a single winner over the course of several scheduled matches, but there is no long-term competition as with Ladders.

A: Ladders are designed for long-term running competition in a top-down position based system; Ideally for competition that will span several weeks or months and allowing anyone in the standings to challenge another member to play as many matches as they wish.
