I have heard and can see the reasons for that sort of reasoning behind the tournament, but I still have my reservations on attributing it to that alone. My reasons revolve mostly around not knowing how the war ended. The Vytal Festival Tournament episode of World of Remnant gives the impression that it ended amicably for all sides. While this is possible, especially if a greater threat to the Kingdoms arose, I am hesitant to accept that at face value until more details are given. History as they says is written by the victors and it seems to me that Vale was likely one of the victors.

Ozpin could certainly have been the founder of Beacon, if suspicions regarding him are correct. I'm not sure that his being the founder would have much affect on my suspicion that the tournament was secretly created to find a Guardian.
