Is it the national TOURnament or TURNament?

This is the question people need an answer to.

pronounced turn-ament

Better to say Nationals and skip the second word!

[pamela 811]

Turn-a-mint unless you're Daniel LaRusso and destined to crane kick someone in the face for the title, in which case you can call it toor-nament or whatever you want.

In the English speaking world, it is turnament.  In the Gibberish speaking world, it is tournament.

Tawn-a-ment.

When I grew up in north-central PA, it was TOURnament (similar to Tour de France).  We went to "STATES" in Hershey for the state TOURnament.

I had never heard a different in pronunciation until college, when I was dating a girl from SW Ohio.  I was talking about filling out brackets for March Madness basketball TOURnament.  She accused me of being from NY/NJ based on how I pronounced the word.  After the NY/NJ accusation, I consciously forced myself to say TURNnament.

4 syllables to-ur--nam-ent pronounced --- toe urr name ent.  When you encounter an Ent(like treebeard) you tell him to either provide hi entish name or you will step on his toe  (then he will step on you and squish you).
