True or false.

True
Have met a number of very good people and friends at gaming conventions

I'd have to go with "True", on this one.

I also would agree. Tournaments are a great way to meet other gamers. Not all of them are the best of them, but I will have to say over 95% are great.

True.

Difficult to see how this could be false, TBH :)

True. I have meet some great people when playing competition Wargaming. Some are now firm friends.

Would not know since I avoid tournaments. Never seen one using rules I like and being rational in concept. NKE through the WOTR does not seem rational in a historical sense.

True but not all tounaments are ancients and even they have themed tournaments that limit armies

Tournaments are a great way to meet people

Tournaments can also be a painful headache with those few who must win at any cost. Mostly by abusing the rules

100% true IMO.
