Forms that calculate points for wordpress
I host a competition in which users report certain activities and earn points for these activities. I am searching for a Wordpress plug or other simple solution that would track user points for me. They already self report on the honor system - I just need something to simplify the reporting. Any ideas?

Currently I am using formsite.com so I don't have access to the back end table.
then you are looking at more of a custom solution
formsite offers an API to retrieve data, once you have the xml you can display it as needed

Cool...thanks James...but I am trying to get away from formsite...looking for a more native solution that fits into wordpress. I have looked at gravity forms and ninja forms but both are lacking just a little in what I need them to do.

So James...do you do work like this?
I have built something similar, I built an input process to track charitable donations per user/per team that was then used to establish a standings table for individuals and teams.
This was not a request for work, that was not my intent. I was just outlining how it could be done, do you have a local developer you can get in contact with? are you working on your own?

interesting, but, two+ years with no updates... a bit of a security risk imo
This plugin hasn’t been updated in over 2 years. It may no longer be maintained or supported and may have compatibility issues when used with more recent versions of WordPress.

If it fits your needs, it may be easier to verify it's secure, rather than building the same thing over again.
how is the reported data currently being saved?
if it is in a custom table, you can create your own widget and add it to a sidebar or create a page
