Okay, now, on to the details that we knew so far for the Doom II Tournament that is going to take place at Quakecon

It's an elimination tournament of 128 participants, ODAMEX will be used for the competition, and it's a first come, first serve. For this tournament you NEED (or needed) to be present at the event so they could attend you and assign you a place in the FFA eliminatories. AND you should've been registered as a QuakeCon 2013 General Attendee in order to enter to any of the three tourneys.

The thing is, online registrations were just closed a few hours ago, but don't worry, you still have a chance to get in, by just registering onsite (that means, dragging your ass to Quakecon, of course)

Now, the second (and most important thing you may have been wondering, aside from the source port that would be used, heh) is

>For those who won't be able to assist to Qcon, HOW the fuck are we going to be able to watch the tourney?

...Well, here's the deal. By checking a few pages (most specifically, two Doomworld threads), I got notice that, aside from the finals being shown on the official Quakecon streams, we won't be able to watch the full tourney.

HOWEVER, it seems that some individuals involved in the International Doom League (IDL) will cover the tournaments via streams, not sure if they will showcase the matches directly or just narrate them, but we need to stay alert for any updates regarding that.
