I think the very best would be an HTML form (in a first php page) with the following :
-game (must choose in a list). Games would need to be "enabled" during their week, "disabled" the rest of the time (csv file manual edit can do)
-player (must choose in a list)
-score (must type)
-team (choose in a list)
-comments (must type).
Form informations would be submitted to a second php page.
The scores would be stored in a table (overkill), mere text file (csv) or XML file, and a very simple parsing + some maths (in php) would be enough to generate nice lists.
Actually such a program would need 4 XML or CSV files (or tables) :
-games (read only)
-players (read only)
-teams (read only)
-scores
A third php page would be use for real-time scores display.
It's very easy to program, I really think someone fluent in php could make it in a few hours.
It would just need :
-a sort of
password, either a global password (same for everyone, a "tournament password" which would be communicated to every player) or the same passwords than the board'. To prevent people from nowhere to post scores...I think a global password would be enough, after all, challengers won't post scores for their opponents, will they?
-Some regular expression usage for basic checks on the scores (--> scores must be integers/float numbers), to avoid someone funny could submit 'ICrashedYourPhpScript' as a score.
-That's all !
-I'm not a php pro but I could really help, as it is a very basic (not Basic ^^) program...
