Very difficult to get the advantage call right - but it can help if you don't whistle straight away as Jono says, and aren't afraid to bring it back, and turnover the ball if the advantage doesn't work out.
With respect to the courts etc, I think there is no reason why the NS shouldn't specify desirable attributes for tournaments - dimensions of courts is one, my current pet fave is to actually make sure that the goals are symmetrically placed, and that the centre-spot is really dead centre.
At this point, in the first year, I think it's more important to actually get tournaments on, and support them by showing up, than criticising organisers for their respective failings. At the end of the season, we can discuss what improvements can be made, without getting blamey.
