It would be difficult, but not impossible (c'mon this is Perl! nothing's impossible :-). The difficulty would be that write access to the database would be opened up to the web, meaning that the interface would need some security. And I don't have the time or interest to develop that right now. And it would still require more pgas-men, because Jerome or I would need to be around during the tournament to set it up, fix mis-marked solutions and post updates. Ideally, one of the referees would be a pgas-man, and this is why we're calling for some respected golfers to volunteer (thank you to Michael Thelen and Eugene for so quickly stepping forward). --Dave
