1. To closed format. When we started we had a "The tournament need to be like this" type of feeling. It is restricted and only hurts the game. No matter the format it should be allowed to be included. Of course some odd tournaments might be included but the vast majority will fit and take over the database anyway. Also, if a person want to hold a torunament and someone goes "then you can't be in the database" then there is a risk that the person goes "screw it then. I can hold a 40k tournament instead".
So the list should be inclusive. Not excluding.

3. Set a limit that the tournament need to have at least 8 players and least 3 games. We used a calculation that the bigger the tournament is the more points each position gave according to as below:

Good points, but your third point contradicts your first point somewhat; in my gaming community, there aren't a lot of DzC players yet. Talons here work more or less regionally, and players live very far apart, so it is difficult for them to drum up an 8 player tournament. I think the next tournament is planned for next year, actually, and it is uncertain whether it will actually happen.
I hope there'll be more players here locally sometime in the future, and just doing 4-player-tournaments now and then would be a good way to help that along. If they can't be included in the ranking, however, that will often be a turndown for both organizers and players, as you yourself stated above.
