[Pirates of the Caribbean] Why is Blackbeard NOT in the Brethren Court (Pirate council from the third movie)?

To become a member of the Brethren Court you need to get your Piece of 8 from another member of the Brethren Court.  It could just be that no member wanted to give their Piece of 8 to him, or were near him when they were close to dying.
