thanks for advice... we are running local events but want to do some more casual online tournaments.

The fact that he recommended IRC makes me automatically love this guide. :3
Edit now with more content: Also, is it a good idea for TO(s) to be oper(s) on the IRC network the channel's on?

The exact process depends on whether the IRC network you're on uses atheme or anope services, but it's largely similar in both cases: First register your name with NickServ (generally via /ns register), then join an empty channel and register that via ChanServ with /cs register (in most cases).
