Private Club Management

I've created a private Chess.com club for an OTB club I'm forming at my office.  I love the idea of giving my members the option to continue their engagement online, and Chess.com seems like such a great place for this. 

One of the things I'm going to offer in this club is a standard ratings ladder strictly for intra-club play.  Members can agree to play a rated match either OTB at a meeting or online, and the results will impact their club rating.  I'd absolutely love to be able to be able to manually enter full games or just results into our Chess.com club page to track ratings of my members relative to each other and display standings on our club's front page.  I'd also like for them to be able to challenge each other online to a rated match, and have these automatically impact these results.    Right now I'm tracking the ratings in an Excel spreadsheet and keeping games in a handwritten stack.  Big hassle. 

The way I envision this working would be that the admin can enter a full game or a result with the date+time of completion to the club ratings section.  Then members could look over the games the same as any other Chess.com database game.  There would also be a button on the league home page to create a rated challenge as well as a button next to each member's profile in the "Members" page to directly challenge. 

It would be a dream scenario to be able to manage the whole club from the Chess.com page, and would make it a lot easier to get all of my members to sign up for Chess.com accounts.  These rankings, events calendar, etc.

I manage a club at a school and would also love to see these features created.

I'd love the same thing, private rankings.
