I’m putting together a survey for an organization to figure out what would be the best game(s) for a tournament. It would hopefully be team based. Questions like which consoles people own and which games they play and what types of games they like to play. I’m just not well versed in every competitive game. This is in the central U. S. So certain games are probably more popular here. I’m not necessarily trying to find the most popular game but the game the most people would reasonably want to play.
PC games would allow everyone to play with whatever controller they prefer.
In general, mainstream/casual audiences will enjoy games like Fifa (or maybe the NBA or NFL equivalent since you’re US) and, if you’ve got a Nintendo console, Mario Kart is a very popular casual tournament game with the option to play as teams as well.
If the participants play shooters, things like (older) Call of Duty games, Overwatch, and maybe Fortnite for more modern audiences are decent options. If they’re more competitive, Counterstrike 2 or Valorant are good as well. Retro Gamers might like Halo or Quake as well.
If they’re into strategy you could play Civilization or Age of Empires, though those games might take a bit long.
For Racing Games, Trackmania is a Time Trial game with a Hot Seat mode, where players take turns trying to drive the fastest time on a track with a time limit. Otherwise, Sonic Racing could be an alternative to Mario Kart that’s available on PC, or you could try a Sim (Forza Motorsport is good for controllers and has split-screen, Assetto Corsa is a more hardcore Simulator which would require multiple setups)

2: No bigotry or gatekeeping. This should be obvious, but neither of those things will be tolerated. This goes for linked content too; if the site has some heavy “anti-woke” energy, you probably shouldn’t be posting it here.
3: No untagged game spoilers. If the game was recently released or not released at all yet, use the Spoiler tag (the little ⚠️ button) in the body text, and avoid typing spoilers in the title. It should also be avoided to openly talk about major story spoilers, even in old games.
