Well jeah its not WvW and without doubt won't sustain longterm fun like WvW hopefully will. Playing the same small maps over and over again, can get boring fast. I see sPvP as a kind of instant PvP challenge where you can also easily test any possible build for every char, without xping/farming at all. Will probably get a bit serious about it during time, but main focus will without a doubt be WvW.
Tournaments, where you sign up as a group are 5v5 and the random servers are 8v8, but you cant join there as a group and will be balanced to different teams most possibly. Its simply great that there is both, open PvP and structured PvP, and i like the structured one more than i liked RIFT's already because its 5v5 and not 10 vs 10 or even 20 v 20... those numbers just suck for sPvP, this is numbers for open PvP, which infact didn't have at all.
