Ya know the ones where you enter through challonge. I was curious how do I fight my opponent? Do we exchange friend requests, fight each other, then the winner posts the results? I am a little curious how it all works.

The Events2Compete-tournament will have an IRC-chat open for people to exchange requests.

I can't speak for other tournaments.

Generally, you trade friend codes, find some mutual chat program to use (Raidcall, Skype, Mumble, Steam, take your pick if the tournament doesn't suggest/require a specific one), go at it, and both report the result to the TO. Hopefully everyone's honest, and if not, hopefully the TO has a plan to handle the situation.

That's a Nice question, I believe you exchange friend codes and use Voice communication programs to speak to each other.
I've personally never been in a online tournament but I did watch one.
