How to make a draft???

I'm starting up a MVP Baseball Tournament website with myself and 7 other friends of mine. In the past We've just done 4 team tournaments where we could all get together and draft our 4 teams in a couple of hours.

Well, now with XBOX live we're expanding to 8 teams and 4 of them don't live in the same state at me. So I want to create a website that we could run our draft from. Mainly just have a pool of players and when someone selects that player he can no longer be choosen. And he is put under the team that drafted him.

Any ideas on how I'd do this? Or know any tutorials that could guide me?

thanks!!!!!!!!

Cool idea! First off, look into database design, that seems to be key here - from what you've said, you're gonna need around 3 tables in one database, that all relate. Firstly, the member information (MemberID, screen name, real name, email, etc etc) then team information (TeamID, team name, etc etc) and then the linking table, who is in what team (so, MemberID as one cell and TeamID as another, remember this table should only be added to WHEN A MEMBER IS SIGNED UP TO A TEAM, otherwise you have blank entries = bad naughty disgusting database design!)

So that's a database suggestion, as for PHP, are you skilled or have you never really touched the stuff? If not, then DevShed have plenty of articles about PHP and integrating with mySQL.

Hope this helped, since i'm not gonna code the thing for ya

I'm pretty good with PHP, I'm going through my Advanced PHP book right now. I just got access to MySQL databases, so I haven't touched any chapters that relate to it. But, thanks for the insight!!!!

I'll super stoked now to learn how to utilize databases!
