    Smogon and PokeRealm have different tournaments that do not use their tournament scripts.
    A PokeCommunity admin makes a board for the tourney registration threads, and we make a schedule. Registration threads are created and people post there to enter. 10 minutes before the registration time, a moderator will close the thread. At the specific times, the tournaments will be held on NB, the brackets will be posted in the locked thread by a mod, and we will have tournaments. This is how we would do these tournaments. Each metagame may have tournaments, as listed on the schedule.

    Why can't PC have a tourney? Because we don't have a NetBattle server.
    Well I am here to fix that. On the Server Registry, I run a server known as Pokemon Defender. If we need a server to host the tournaments, there is our server.

    This server is being run from a personal computer, unlike Smogon or PokeRealm. For that reason, I may have slightly more server errors than Smogon, but I am less vulnerable to a DDoS; my PC has a proxy connection and firewalls to prevent a DDoS.

    Along with volunteering a server for this, I will also volunteer to be a tournament director. I could also create tier lists for PokeCommunity to insure fair competition. My server should be reliable enough for this. To be a tournament director, I need to be a moderator.

    Ok, I read your entire post carefully, and I remember that we have had things like this arise before. I can give you a mod's point of view on this subject.

    PC has been interested in hosting a NetBattle server at certain points in PC's life. However, a NetBattle server has always been something that people just kinda say no to. There are a lot of servers already around. We also do not have that many PC staff's that do NetBattle. So it would be kinda difficult to have a PC server. And most people would more than likely go to old favorite servers like Smogon or PokeRealm.

    I think it would be nice to have one, but in some ways, almost impossible. And you would probably have to rename your server if we did use it, which I don't think you'd be willing to do.

    And I can pretty much tell you even if we did pick your server and stuff, that you would not be made a moderator. And I am sure, the admins will tell you why.
     
    Just so you know this wasn't a clever plot to get modded.
    I always thought that we didn't have a server because PC is run from a Linux machine and Netbattle only supports Windows and maybe Mac.
