2022 update: I've received a message or two about it recently. This was mainly worded as a question because the tool was still very much a work in progress; and it never really stopped being one. Lack of time and skill at the time made the project basically not go anywhere, and the sheer scope of it just wouldn't have worked at the time.
I have no intention or motivation to revive the project at this time.

Hey guys, a few friends and I started working on a big project that aims to simplify the management of tournaments for everyone involved (both staff and players).
Here's the list of key features we're planning on:
My opinion is that it would ruin part of the fun in tournaments which is interaction staff-players
Good news: This tool only aims to make tournament management easier. Like a friend said, it's not a GLaDOS thing that's going to "POOF NEW TOURNAMENT".
It's not there to replace the staff, only help it with management.
Also, the whole codebase is gonna be opensource, just send me a private forum message and i'll send you the current repo. (In case you have trust issues with me or any member of the team: breadman, egordm, Yulivee, S4b4t3r and me, Jeremiidesu)
Feel free to drop feedback! We've been working on this for around a month now, so we'd like to have feedback regarding if it's really going to be used or not. Thanks!

Hey guys, a few friends and I started working on a big project that aims to simplify the management of tournaments for everyone involved (both staff and players).
Here's the list of key features we're planning on:
- Basic tournament management (Name, icon, staff, players, registration details)
- Mappool selection and display, with the ability to download and install these straight from the tool
- Easier match scheduling. Current Google Docs way of doing that only shows time in UTC (most common). We plan to display times using the player's PC timezone, and additionally the time left until the match. Push notifications on PC or phone can also be made.
- Brackets and standings
- Automated ref bot. Looking at the current feedback recieved, we might as well drop this feature. (staff-player interaction)
