I am captain of this trivia team and am trying to make a site to help
streamline all of our information as it's a 50 hours competition and 10
questions an hour. I built a basic site for the navagation, and I'll admit
that even though I am fairly tech savvy as I work in television...I know
little about web design and have been learning on the fly here.

Can someone direct me in the right direction for what I want to accomplish
here....
I'll put this link up of what I would like the site to be able to do, and
considering I need like 500 of these sites (1 for every question), I'd like
to get a big head start on it.

http://home.earthlink.net/~jdclemens//Hour 2-1.htm

I'd like to have a page where team members can enter in the Question,
guesses, the correct answer, how many points it is worth, whether we got it
right or not and how many points we got for answering it correct.

I'd like to have when they click submit on the information, it shows up on
that page. I currently have that page as a form, but don't want it emailed,
want it to show up in the boxes or on the page. Not sure if I should do a
forum or what....but if someone could tell me where I should proceed
to....and how...I would be extremely GREATFUL!

Thanks.

Not possible with just the FrontPage Forms handler
Would usually require a database and custom server side scripting supported by your host OS

Is that stuff possible in Frontpage...the database and css scripting?
And do you know of any good tutorials for what I'm trying to do?
 
You'll find lots of tutorials at
http://www.w3schools.com/default.asp

But it all depend on what DB and server side scripting your host supports
