Tesc's suggestion is a pretty good quick n dirty way to do it without getting into too much complicated math. And doesn't have to deal with 'player skill level' which gets us into questionable territory.
Except I think he's got it backwards. More rounds = harder, not easier. Some sort of juggling with # of rounds and # of players and you've got a number.

Umh... when I wrote that I thought that with less rounds you can't miss a game, while with more rounds you can. But probably this is questionable

Basically my contention is that the more games in a tournament, the more confident one can be that the eventual winner 'deserved' the win. With fewer rounds you can get lucky a couple of times and win a tournament, so that should be less rewarding.
