I'm not sure but it might be worth approaching Jeremy Whiting (jpwhiting) 
about this. AFAIK he's currently working on the KNS dialogs. It depends 
whether he wants to do the talk really.

Josef Spillner is the dude for this. I haven't seen him on IRC for a while 
(since FISL). Does anyone know if he's on holiday or something?

Josef mentioned that the GGZ server application had functionality to manage 
game tournaments. As far as getting the code on the KDE side to get this 
running, I'm willing to work on that.
