I don't really mind tournaments being created far in advance... since you might want to have a "BIG" New Year 2009 tournament and is nice to start trying to get people to sign up now. (and easy enough to not go to the "next" tab on the tournament page)

I would like to see the "past due" time that is currently set to 30 days dropped to 7 days. By 7 days past the deadline, the tournament create could always change the start date to something not past-due if they don't want it deleted. To see almost the first whole page of past-due tournaments is a pain in my opinion. 7 days is plenty of time.

As a person who has at times made many tournaments at once, I would be OK with a limit of tournaments one can create as long as that limit was something like 20 or 25 - since I could easily make 20 "fast start" tournaments today, and by tomorrow 75% of them will be running
