I really wouldn't want to get too many tournament updates in my inbox because I personally think that updates should stay in the forums and there's enough stuff going through my inbox. I feel that if this was put to action then a lot more updates would end up in my inbox because it would be easy for people to use it.
The fact that it's easy is the point. If you need to make an update on your tournament, and you want to put it in the forum, there is no real way to make sure all the players know about it, unless you pm them. Btw, I'm speaking from experience here, I'm currently running my first tournament, and when I posted the games in the forum, about 2 of the 34 players actually looked in the forum without me telling them to (in a pm) and found their game. Admittedly, I did not tell the players that was how I was going to post the games. But, if only 2 out of 34 people saw that important of an announcement, who's going to notice the smaller ones that have to be made now and then? (They don't get announced before hand.)

There are several ways to keep players' list (like JP and NS suggested) on and off the site and they are more than enough IMO. Plus, simplest place where to keep your list of players is in the tournament topic
You're right, and if this is not implemented that is what I'll start doing. However, wouldn't it just be simpler to have that function built in to the pm area? It's kind of like an email list, you could have a document that have all the people written down on, but it's much more convenient to have the list built in.
