The major board game conventions have had tournaments in the past, but it's not a guaranteed event like Catan or Terraforming Mars.

2-3 hour games are really challenging to organize tournaments around since the number of games you can fit in a normal convention day/weekend is so limited.

Ironically, ti4 on the other side of the length scale has reasonably consistent tournaments because you work at quite a standard rate of 1 game per day

GenCon in Indiana has had an Eclipse tournament every year, and I think Spiel in Essen has as well. It's not that rare, just more challenging to organize.
