So I'm going to go ahead and make this thread because I've had a much larger number of people asking me to host CAP tournaments than ever before in this past and I hope this thread will help organize the process and help it operate much more smoothly. This thread from here on out will be the place for people to request to host CAP metagame tournaments, and the top of the OP will show the known tournament schedule of approved CAP metagame tours.
You are only allowed to request a tournament if you yourself will be one of the hosts or co-hosts. This is NOT the place to post tournament ideas for other people to host. You may comment on and offer minor suggestions for tournament ideas that other people have submitted, but do not seek to have an in-depth discussion about a specific tournament here. On the other hand, make sure any comments that you do post are constructive and add something. "I like this idea" as an entire post and similar one-liners will be deleted and multiple offenses will be infracted. You are NOT allowed to volunteer to host for CAPTT here. CAPTT is the CAP metagame's most official team tournament and will be planned out by the mods/captains through private means outside of this thread.
In order to have a tournament approved to be hosted, the following information must be provided, preferably following the template below:
Tournament Name: The name of your tournament
Tournament Host(s): Your name plus the name of any co-hosts. Any co-hosts must be tagged in this line and they must like the application post so that I know they are committed to be co-hosts.
Tournament Time Frame: The time in which you want the tournament to run AND the length of each round. You do not need to have an exact end date if you want to have the end of the tournament be flexible, but you must have a concrete date for sign ups, a concrete date for the start of round 1, and an estimated end date. I will actively avoid letting there be multiple tournaments scheduled at the exact same time, but I will allow for small overlaps, especially during the sign up phases.
Host experience: Do you have experience in hosting tournaments of any nature? If so, please provide links to examples. If you do not have hosting experience, what other smogon/CAP experience do you have that you think helps prove you would be a reliable host?
Tournament Description: Provide a general description for your tournament that includes:

Tournament Description: Provide a general description for your tournament that includes:
Tournament Style: Is the tournament Round Robin, Elimination (single, double, etc), partner/team based?
Tournament Banlist: Does the tournament follow the current CAP metagame banlist? If not, what are the additions/subtractions to the ruleset.
Tournament Justification: What do you hope the tournament to accomplish? Why do you think it would be a tournament that people will be interested in signing up for?
