I'm not a big fan of .pdf files, they are large and require add-ins which come with their own problems too. If I truly had the patience, I'd hand-code this site to keep it small and tight, but the amount of maintenance it would take to keep it maintained (especially when weeknight leagues are running) is just too much to keep up with on a volunteer basis.
Take a look at DiscGolfScene.com for their league support. Chuck started using it for the Miramar league this summer and the site presented stats very nicely. There's no reason that HFDS should have to rebuild something that another site handles really well. As you mention, we're all volunteering for this sort of thing.
