I understand your point, but what about this point:
A lot of DS gamers are outside and not on forums such as this. Euan,

Aye, personally, I think we shoiuld have mini-groups. The US has about twelve members who'd be willing to join a clan, I bet, so why not three teams of four or something? And we could have a British team, Rechargd, Pancakes, Darkmatter and one or two others could make an Australian team...

Thats a good idea, its much like my country groupings method. Lets take a look at the bigger picture - with me as an example. Im a member here, ive got at the moment 3 friends not on these forums who have a DS and will get MK. We are going to form a clan. After we form the clan the guys will have to join these forums to compete in anything around here. I want to hear from TheWon, but I dont think i am mistaken if I say that there are only about 8 people on a MK clan - not an entire forum's worth of people! Having said that, most people really prefer their own clans. So if we go with some of your guy's idea of just the one clan that battles each other throughout the year, then why not simple change that a bit by making it internal clan matches? It really is just the same thing.
If we want to make it more interesting, if it is time to compete with other sites, we could have a 'showdown' comp, where clans fight internally and the best one will represent TDS.

Shouldn't the tournament host site be dealing with the rankings and postings?

We at TDS should have a page for records, as will our other affiliate sites. And maybe elsewhere later on there can be another site/database that has global record information.
Again, having region groupings will make time zone management much much easier. Becuase most the time you will be either practising with your own clan or practising with other clans. It wouldnt be hard to do in the system, becuase in every Regional forum there will be a stick post outlining all the timezone conversions etc.
Lets make this poll an official one.
