PHP Code:

 <vb:if condition="$post['field10']">
       <img src="{vb:stylevar imgdir_misc}/gamericons/sc2.png" alt="SC2: {vb:raw post.field10}" />
    </vb:if>
        <vb:if condition="$post['field11']">
       <img src="{vb:stylevar imgdir_misc}/gamericons/{vb:raw post.field11}.png" alt="SC2 Tournament Race: {vb:raw post.field11}" />
        </vb:if> 


For showing profile fields in tournament brackets

1. First upload and allow overwrite of tournaments.php
2. Find in template 'tmnt_bracket'

				<a href="<vb:if condition="$team">competitions.php?do=viewteam&amp;id<vb:else />member.php?u</vb:if>={vb:raw userid}">{vb:raw username}</a>

3. After add

 <vb:if condition="$userinfo['field10']">
       <img src="{vb:stylevar imgdir_misc}/gamericons/sc2.png" alt="SC2: {vb:raw userinfo.field10}" />
    </vb:if>
        <vb:if condition="$userinfo['field11']">
       <img src="{vb:stylevar imgdir_misc}/gamericons/{vb:raw userinfo.field11}.png" alt="SC2 Tournament Race: {vb:raw userinfo.field11}" />
        </vb:if>

I don't understand the first part of the question.

There is no big list of challenges. However if you click on a ladder, you can view upcoming matches, recent matches, and your challenges.

Would this be by pm?

Nope, just by vBulletin notification system:
