How to unlock the Tournament to Kill achievement in Deadliest Warrior: The Game - Definitive Guide
The achievement is basically "win 3 games in a row, 10 times".
The best way to get this achievement is to set up or join a boosting session.
The ideal number of participants is 8 (maximum party size), but can be done more painfully with just 4. Or have a HUGE session which is nothing more than a 'play at this time because online is dead' session.
Create 1-round matches for Fight Lab. Everyone should be Spartan to help with another achievement.
Just fight normally and see who wins.
If you win, good stuff. If you lose, then after the match when it says you lost and gives you the option of continuing, DO NOT press A to continue. Instead, quit to the dashboard (press Guide button followed by Y). This will not affect the other player's progress but it will stop you from moving down the ranks.
Once you start getting the achievement, communicate and try to push the others up the ranking.
The tournament levels are:
First Round
Semi-Finals (win a first round fight)
Final (win a semi-final)
Win 10 Finals to get the achievement.
NOTE: if you don't use the dashboard trick, you will start at the first round again whenever you lose, regardless of which round you previously fought in. I hosted two sessions for this achievement and we figured out this halfway through the second session.
Session 1: 4 hours, 2 people got the achievement (little progress for others).
Session 2: 2 hours, 7 people got the achievement (everyone).

There is no tournament as such.
It's just matchmaking with wins-in-a-row, essentially.

This one can be difficult for two reasons.
Reason #1 - Almost all people playing this game online are grade A jerks. Let me explain. When you play Tournament mode, you start of in First Round. If you win, your next game under Tournament mode will be Semi-Finals, and you will only be matched with people who also have just won a First Round game. Win the Semi-Finals, and your next game will be Finals with someone else who has also won a Semi-Finals round. Win 10 Finals to unlock this achievement. If you loose any game you will start off on a First Round match again. Sounds difficult right? Well it gets harder. This is because the dumb creators of this otherwise fun game mislooked one small but important concept of online gameplay. Fareness. It just so happens that when you leave a game before it ends, even if your losing, it does not count as a loss for you, nor does it count as a win for the other player. See the problem here? Most people just decide to leave before they lose, so they can keep their place in the tournament without having to restart to First Round. But when they do this, it does not count as a win for you, and you don't proceed. All i can say to help you is to please don't behave like this. Be greater than everyone else... be a man. There's truth to this saying: what comes around, goes around.
Reason #2 - 70%-90% of the time, people will use the Ninja. In my opinion he's way too overpowered. It thus becomes important to find a decent technique to fighting these Ninja lovers. I can usually win with the Centurion, but hey, that's just me. Another important phrase to remember here: fight fire with fire. Also works well for me.
Good luck with this one.

It does not matter how many rounds you set your match up for. If you decide to create a game, it's up to you to choose how many rounds you'd like to play. For example, you create a game and set the rounds to 3. This only means you have to win two of the three rounds, or two of three kills, to win the actual match with the person your playing with. If you win, you'll then be returned to the main menu and must find or create a new game to advance to Semi-Finals, and then Finals. Just keep an eye on the game info to the left when joining a game. It will tell you what the host has set for the rounds and for the game time. You don't want to go rushing in thinking there are 3 rounds when there's actually only 1, as some like to play.
Does this answer your question?

Credit for this solution does to Large Coffee.
A team of 5 boosters will work the best.
First rank somebody to the top 3rd round and the 2nd round there only job is to host matches and letting the other boosters win.
Using the dashboard trick after a loss will keep them at the same level in the round. (After a loss instead of pushing "A" to continue you exit to the dashboard and when you reload the game you stay at the same level)
So 1 person host matches in each of the 3 rounds, the 2nd and 3rd level hosts use the trick ( first round using the dashboard trick is pointless)
The other 2 go up the ladder getting wins and then rotate with the hosts after they receive the acheivment.
Only 4 people will cause a lot of waiting in the lobby's for the hosts and more than 2 going for the acheivment will cause a lot of waiting for reloading

How long does this take? I'm very interested in setting up a session sometime this week and want to make sure I provide enough time for everyone to unlock the achievement.

It took 5 of us about 2.5 hours to get it with one of us having a slow connection

It may sound confusing but you need 4 people you take turns getting to the tournament finals how you do that is 2 people fight winner goes on to semis and waits for the winner between 2 of the other players then in the semis the person going for the trophy wins and goes on to the finals now when yoh lose it sends you back obviusly so players 2 and 3 fight to get to semis then players 3 and 4 fifht to the semis to fight player 2 who will win and face player 1 in the finals then player 1 wins the tournament and rinse and repeat.
For this trophy you need 2 tournament fight wins in a row to unlock the final, then win the final for it to count as a tournament win. If you lose a tournament fight, then you will need to start your 3 win streak over. This means you will need to win 30 matches, in sets of 3 in a row. The easiest way is to boost this since the online is so dead but if you want to get it the real way, refer to the tips in Whose Deadliest Now? If you want to boost this trophy, go to this thread here: Trophy Boosting Thread
