  My club uses [Swiss Manager](http://swiss-manager.at/). It is very good but not cheap. 150 euros for the full version, 75 euros for the light. It is perhaps worth looking at what it does to get ideas if you are thinking of writing your own.
  
  One I downloaded some time ago but still haven't got round to playing (so I can't give any recommendation) is [OSwiss](http://sourceforge.net/projects/oswiss/) which is a project on Sourceforge.
