Are the tournament results largely just a function of how many golden tickets you buy? Obviously, you have to do well, but more tickets can compensate for that, right?

It seems to depend on how much people are playing in your Ranking Card. If you wanna beat the other grinders for top positions, you may have to get golden tickets to continue. Even with more tickets and grind, the Position you end up on the Ranking Card will depend largely on how many points you accrue in each tourney match, so you wanna use whatever your best equipment is for a particular map so you can maximize your score.

bayscout grinding to the max will do nothing but frustrate you. Mitigate it with controlling which brackets you're in and when. Your ranking card is determined solely by the players that played their first tournament game in proximity to you playing your first tournament match that day. Some days you'll get leisurely opponents, some days you'll get on cards with people that will spend a literal work-day's worth of time to stay in first. Outside of the cheese in the stickied tournament guide, another option is to just play your freebies and accept where that places you. The most points someone can plausibly obtain per match is 200-300. At 6 minutes a game, people in the 4k+ range are grinding hours of their life away for just a little more than what casual play would scrape up. If you want to be the first on every card, expect to spend coins to make coins. I wouldn't take it that seriously unless you're really intent on frustrating yourself ?

I wondered that too at first. But as my hangar has moved up, I can see that it's really just folks earning more points per match. Golden tickets might matter a lot more at the top levels, idk, but otherwise the numbers I see don't seem to include many extra tickets. The craziest heat for me is still the first one because the biggest range of different hangar strengths.
Time of day also matters. It's best to only play tourney when you can rack up high score wins. Once I get a few losses close together, I bail and wait for an easier time.

Another thing to note, everyone and their mom comes out an hour before payout. I noticed I play mostly bots early on, and then live folks the closer it gets to payout time. This means that matches get a little more heated toward payout, reducing the points you rack up. I can rack up over 200 points per game easily early on, and then trying to hit 200 becomes less likely the later it gets.
