Are there any APIs for helping running tournaments that can draw brackets, count scores, etc? Something on PHP/javascript would be nice but I can't find any.
Thanks.

That is not actually a tournament API, but a .NET web control for submitting fantasy brackets. (and displaying results)

Here it is in action:
I'm in the process of building one right now.
Mine supports Round-Robin, Single-Elimination, and Boil-Off tournaments! I am working on Double Elimination as we speak. [I actually need to get it done for an event we have this weekend. ;)]
It also supports the folowing scoring modes: Highest Score (Team Sports), Lowest Score (Golf, etc.), Highest Time (King-of-the-Hill), and Lowest Time (Racing, etc.).

As you can tell, it was optimized for LAN parties.
It is not in PHP; but, I would encourage a port to PHP.

There is a pretty useful jquery plugin that draws a binary tree which can be used for building tourney brackets.
