Last time i entered a tournament I ended up with 41 games meaning i couldnt contrate on all of them and ultimatly I died horribly in nearly all of them. However if I enter a tournament with a max of 16 players and 8 groups, dosnt this mean ill only have 2 extra games to start with? As in one game as black and 1 as white against the same person?

Yep, It's the group size that ultimately determines the number of concurrent games you will be playing. 16 players max / 8 groups gives us two games - one in each colour.
