Homebrew Competition Software

[Junket]

My brewing club will be running a homebrew competition in July 2010. We would like to make the move to online registration/entry/management. With my limited web skills, I'd prefer to avoid hosting the software myself... I'm not sure I could deal with all the details. Can anyone suggest a software or hosting solution for this? The only thing I've found so far is Beer Contest DB. Anyone tried this?

We use their software to host our Website. It's open source and free.

There's also this one but I believe you'd have to host it yourself:

Thanks for the suggestions. My site management experience is pretty limited - the most complicated thing I've done is code some html and set up a forum. Anyone know if these programs require more knowledge than that? Other suggestions would also be appreciated....

Junket,

Thanks for posting this - its something we have been looking into as well.

It would be a cool problem for the AHA or BJCP to work on so we could get a robust standardized competition software hosted by one of the organizations. Seems stupid to reinvent the wheel for every BJCP event.

That's an excellent idea. It'd be especially great if the AHA hosted it so that you don't have to have tech-savvy homebrewers and your own webhost to get it running.
