I had the misfortune of playing a Tournament game today and I noticed that the prize/Duchy gain for Tournament is not mandatory. if I reveal a Province I should be required to gain something.

Actually you're only required to gain something if there is >0 duchy and >0 prize left.
If either one is sold out, you can choose the 'failing option'.
I don't remember if the gain was mandatory when there was still a Prize in the pile and also a Duchy in the pile.
When I did some test games with tournament the "Don't gain" button never appeared unless either the Duchy or Prize pile was empty. That seems to be the only way to not gain a card, as otherwise the UI will present you with the still available Prizes/a Duchy and you can not continue until you have chosen one of those cards.
