Thanks guys I suspected Excel might be able to handle it. So I assume Libreoffice Calc should be capable as well.

    Excel would handle this just fine if they need something cheap and
    simple and don't need multiple computers accessing the file at
    once. I would put each member on their own row and have columns
    for each species / weight class, then a formula at the end of the
    row to calculate the points for that row / member.

    Eg:
    Member Name / Snapper 1kg / 2kg / 5kg / Gurnard 1kg / 2kg / 5kg /
    Total

    Otherwise there are hosted database systems out there where you
    design your database and get a GUI for entering data. You might be
    able to fashion something with one of these without any programming.

    Or if something custom is required, a set of forms and controllers
    to interact with a database in your CMS of choice wouldn't be
    terribly difficult either.

        Hi all - this may be slightly OT but I'm throwing it in here
        anyway.

        I've been asked to find a software solution for a local
        fishing club. They want to be able to pick from preset
        species/weights/quantities at weigh in time something like this.

        Anglers Name | species list | weights |quantities for each
        species |total points for his catch.

        So for example:
        Joe Bloggs turns up at weigh-in with 3 snapper of 1, 2, and
        3kg, he also has 2 trevally of 2 and 4kg weights.

        Each species would have points allocated by weight. So for
        example:
        A 1kg snapper might be worth 30 points, and a 2kg snapper
        might be worth 45 points.
        A 1kg Trevally might be worth 20 points and  35points for a 2kg.

        What they want the software to do. (and not do)

        They want the software to add up the points (per fish) for
        each fish in each species caught and provide sub-total and
        grand total.
        (They don't want it to add 3 fish together and allocate points
        as if it were one big fish)

        I'm imagining something with dropdown lists of species and
        weight-brackets.
        Like a spreadsheet with all the competitors names down one
        column, species and weight dropdowns in the following columns etc.

        Could this even be done with excel perhaps?
        Is there a cms or something out there that would come close?

        cheers
        Chris
