Competitions: AC Weekend Cup

[Roflcopter]

I've been working on a small(ish) project called AC Weekend Cup. The idea is basically that every weekend we play a complete tournament (single elimination) and first place takes gold, second silver. Over time the better teams will tend to win more often so will accumulate golds and silvers more, which we use to rank teams.

The main benefits to this format for competitions is that it provides teams with more games and allows all teams to get games each week. I've also coded in features to help players participate in mixed teams and we aim to setup the match tree so that weaker teams aren't paired with heavy-weights -- at least in the first round. Because we run a whole new tournament each week, we'll be able to hold tournaments for modes other than CTF.

At the moment there's still very much for me to develop but I've already coded all the essential parts (making teams, joining teams, signing up, voting, statistics, profiles, providing demos, etc..). I hope to be able to get matches going soon but I was hoping that someone may have a free VPS that could host the site. AC Weekend Cup is coded in Python 2.7 using Django 1.3-1.4 and should be fairly easy to setup on a recent Ubuntu server and shouldn't use many resources.

I'm interested in everyone's thoughts on this project, also I'm open to the idea, if it was desired, that this could be an officially recognised tournament. And of course, if you might be able to help out with hosting, please drop a message!
