Sorry for the slow reply on my part. Yeah, the Tourney is not a Missions event.
It's a 2-part, 2-night adventure where each group is playing the same set of 6 characters. You get scored based on a number of categories, including how well you roleplay the character you're given, how well you work as a team, and how good you are at probem solving and coming up with creative ways to handle things.
Plus, of course, survival.
This year's adventure should be pretty cool. It has ties to a couple Shadowrun products we're putting out, but I won't say which ones. But I think it should be a lot of fun.
