There may be one way...
1. Register for the boards.
2. Check in frequently for contests.
3. Enter a contest and WIN a Tournament Figure!
Many here have done it!

The principle of a Swiss tournament is that each player will be pitted against another player who has done as well (or as poorly) as him or herself.
The first round is either drawn at random or seeded according to rating. Players who win receive a point, those who draw receive half a point and losers receive no points. Win, lose or draw, all players proceed to the next round where winners are pitted against winners, losers are pitted against losers and so on. In subsequent rounds, players face opponents with the same (or almost the same) score. No player is paired up against the same opponent twice however. In chess it is also attempted to ensure that each player plays an equal number of games with white and black, alternate colors in each round being the most preferable, and definitely not the same color three times in a row.
The basic rule is that players with the same score are ranked according to rating. Then the top half is paired with the bottom half. For instance, if there are eight players in a score group, number 1 is paired with number 5, number 2 is paired with number 6 and so on. Modifications are then made to balance colors and prevent players from meeting each other twice.
The detailed rules of how to do the pairing are usually quite complicated and often the tournament organizer has access to a computer to do the pairing for him. If the rules are strictly adhered to, the organizer has no discretion in pairing the round. See the link below for detailed pairing rules from FIDE.
The tournament lasts for a number of rounds announced before the tournament (usually between 3 and 9 rounds). After the last round players are ranked by their score, if this is tied a tie break score (such as the sum of all their opponents' scores) can be used.

Wow! that is pretty comlicated. i think i may have done something along the lines of it actually. But i don't have enough people to do that. there are 3 other players in my area and tournaments we have are pretty short.

As of right now WOTC says only Hasbro is responsible... Thank The Good Devil, I want wizards to have nothing to do with this game. They ruin everything they touch.

What do you guys think about having some kind of regional tournaments?
Right now all tournaments are independent of one another, does anyone else wish they were connected somehow?
Local tournaments could be held, the winner of those could advance to state, then to regionals, then to nationals, then to an actual world championship. That would be rad.

Sounds great, but I don't know how practical that is. I really wouldn't be willing to travel anywhere past a state level unless Hasbro is going to pay for my travel expenses ;D

You can get them randomly in booster packs. We have a silver-based Rodimus figure we got in a booster pack, and I know a friend who got a silver-based Biker Scout.

He's talking about Silver figures, and they're painted all-silver, even the figure. I don't think that there's any way to get the Tournament figures other than contests on this messageboard, or tournaments.
