I was considering creating a tournament website myself. It had similar ideas to yours, but also included 2 radical ideas:
1) Consistent player database - > all players will be stored for every tourney, with a small popup bio with bnet profile and custom link, so say HuKs info is persistent and readily available to viewers throughout all his tournaments. These can be sorted by game if you decide to branch to multi-game (wow, wc3, c&c) functionality. Care has to be taken to eliminate/reduce duplicate entries.
2) One screen display. I noticed many brackets require ridiculous vertical scrolling especially for large tournaments. This format displays eg. ro64 across the entire screen (grid like), click next and the winner "consumes" the loser in a javascript animation. This format can be a bit offputting, but is smooth and convenient for quick scanning. Perhaps it should be implemented as a "mode" of viewing beyond the regular mode.
These were mainly brainstorm ideas and their full practicality was not taken in account. If you want help with the front end, back end (php), or whatever let me know. Most importantly good luck!

yeah, those are good ideas. I was already considering having player profiles with links and stuff, but I still need to determine the best way to display a bracket. I think the simplest way will just to put everything in a scrollable div or to put everything on a single page, but have links on the sides so you can quickly click to a bracket. I need to find a good graphic designer.

I cant find anyway just to get the build oder from that site, im just sayin something simple and easy... I could just go in my match history and write down the build into a txt file then print it.
im just saying the only thing that i would like and cant find is a nice and simple build order extrator from a replay that is nice and formated and readable with out spending time editing everything

haha i think there is an overwhelming amount of support for a tournament site. I think thats probably the best route then.
What kind of tournament options do you guys want?
Single Elimination (normal brackets)
Double Elimination (winners and losers bracket)
Swiss
group style (like world cup)
what are some others?
That works.
Maybe a way for players to report results. (That'd be a BIG thing that any tournament organizer would love).

if you tie the replays that players upload to confirm their games with the player name and allow users to search for all of a players replays, possibly all their replays vs a certain race I would love you forever

2. A tournament site where you can create your own starcraft 2 tournament (in multiple different styles like swiss or double elimination, etc) with features like automatic email notification for an upcoming match, allow players to report the results (requires player email), and allowing players to upload replays on the site and automatic tournament setup. Also ability to partially customize the tournament page.
This. We really lack that since WGT went down. With groups and etc would be the most awesome site ever. There's no free tournament website with groups that i know of. http://binarybeast.com/ Binarybeast was an absolute nightmare during the Minerva tournament.

Even with 4 people working on it, it took 3 hours to finally get round 1 reported.

This is definitely a part of it (its actually really easy to do as well).
I bumped this because i need help from the TL community.
The biggest problem i'm having is relating to the bnet identification.
My current plan is:
You register with your email address (verifies its unique and send a verification email)
You input all of your bnet ids for the different servers (in case you have like one for NA, and one for EU, etc.)
You register for a tournament and you pick which bnet id to use. If the tournament is server specific then you pick a bnet id that you put for that specific server.
Now the question I have, and maybe someone has a good idea for is this.
What should I do to make sure that people don't try sign up for someone else's bnet id? and make them unable to register? I have to make the bnet ids (name#code) unique.
The possible solutions i have are.
1. Allow anyone to put any bnet id they want, tie the bnet id's to a specific email/user.
2. Make bnet ids unique and some sort of way to verify.
3. Make bnet ids unique, if there is a collision, then the person can request a manual verification. This verification take place by me manually adding the email of the person with the bnet id, checking it for validity, then either changing it or keeping it.
4. Some other method I haven't thought of.
Currently I'm thinking #1 is the only way to go, unless someone can suggest something better.
I'm about 20% done with the site.

Wow, a series of satellite tournaments could be cool, sorta like in poker for the WSOP you could set it up so you have 128 or 256 people who enter a 5-10 dollar fee, and then along with sponsors, the winner could get the money to get the plane ticket to korea.
