There are definitely tournament hosting sites (http://www.challonge.com), and also league hosting sites (http://www.myleague.com).

What I am proposing (and starting to conceptualize on paper) is a clan league system. Here's a very brief and rudimentary idea:

• A clan leader registers their clan.
• Members would sign-up and pick a clan.
• Leader would receive a notification and then must verify that member.
• Seasons would be 2 - 3 months each.
• Clans can play 1v1 or 2v2 matches against eachother, then submit them into the system.
• Points will be awarded based on player's rank within the system.
• A clan's total points will be based on its members cumulative points.*
• Top clan's will get medals (Gold, Silver, Bronze, etc) and awards (Best streak, >100 wins etc) each season that appear on their profile forever.*
• Individuals can have medals/awards also.*
  

*subject to change

The current idea doesn't necessarily have any tournament factors, but those can be implemented along side or within this format.

I really do want to start working on this, as I've been looking for a side project. Recently finished school and started a grown-up job in engineering, but I have a lot more free-time at night than I use to without homework. Further down the road I'll probably set up a suggestions thread, since I'm not as creative as many of you all
