    Hello @dastar5626

    In my opinion yes, that’s possible. However, you will need at least the developer version of the plugin.

    The Developer version of the plugin includes four features that I think are essential to your project.

    – Allows to generate a registration form, enabling the “User Registration Form” add-on. This add-on checks if the usernames or emails entered by the users are available or not, assign a role to the new users, even allows to define their metadata. More information in the following link:

    – Allows to create forms accessible only by registered users, through the “User Permissions” add-on. This add-on include a new shortcode allowing the users access to their submissions, and edit or delete them. There is tutorial available in the following link:

    – The “DS” controls. This is set of controls whose data are populated from an external datasource, like a database or CSV file. More information about the use of DS fields in the following link:

    – And finally, the “cp_calculatedfieldsf_insert_in_database.php” file. This file allows you to define your own SQL queries in case you want to store the information in you own database or tables. In your project, where exist players and teams, I guess you will need your own tables to create the relationship between players and teams, or a table for the score of players and teams. Through this file it is possible to define the INSERT or UPDATE queries, even the DELETE queries if you need them. More information in the following link:

    Best regards.
