Here is an e-mail I sent to someone else that was thinking about doing it:
"Disc golf reporting:
Problem: Currently we manually update our monthly results on this site here:
http://www.newhanoverdgc.com/scoreboard.php It takes a long time to do manually
Solution: I would like to have a password protected backend where a user can log in to a secure website and post scores which are automatically updated on the home page.
How I envision it working:
When you log into the backend the first thing you do is select the month and year that you are updating and which league they are in(such as pro, am, rec, etc.) There is a pull down menu with all of the current users in it. You select the user that you want and you can add the results from the tournament. If the user is not in the database there will be a place to add a new user. A user would consist of just their name or nickname but would need to be a unique name.
When you post a user's score you would post the score for the first round, second round and payout if applicable. Once you submit all of the user's scores it would post them to the results for that specific month as you can see on the current scoreboard page. Click the January results for an example. You would take round 1 + round 2 for the total and then you award points based on a 20 point system. First place gets 20 all the way through 20th place which gets 1. 1 point is the least you can get. People that "Do Not Finish" or DNF as you see it on the website get the amount that the person in last place got divided by 2, rounded down. When there is a tie in points both people share the same amount of points and then the person with the next highest score gets the amount that he would of gotten regardless of a tie. You can look at some of the past months that were scored for some examples of ties and how they work.
After we submit the results for a specific league it would update the "points race". The points race shows how many points each player got every month and keeps a tally of their totals. We use the top 8 scores of the year for each person and rank them by their current total. We only do a points race for Pro and Amateur.
We would need a way to select which year to display on the website along with a way to display past year's tournaments. I really like the current layout and would like to keep that if possible.
