I used to be an admin in CAL (Cyber Athlete League), wrote my own mIRC scripts for support desk tickets and had a janky PHP interface for managing scores. Good times!

Oh man, playing CAL-I was peak adolescence for me. I even had some friends turn pro, and another became a professional shoutcaster.
