Complicated golf scoring system

I have a spreadsheet I'm using to score a golf tournament. There will be N number of teams with 4 players per team (this could change to 3 per team by game time). Players will be ranked according to their ability so that each team has an "A" player, a "B" player, a "C" player, and a "D" player. I'm sure many of you are familiar with this set up. The guy I'm helping organize the tournament doesn't like select shot, so he came up with a scoring system where every player plays his/her own ball. The good thing is that the "D:" players have as much a chance to contribute as the "A" player and possibly more. Now I have the formulas set up and will calculate the four different criteria I have for points. Here is the criteria:

1. Within each Rank, 1 point is awarded to the hole winner. You must win the hole - no ties (possible 72 points for a team).
2. Within each rank, 1 point is awarded for low score on the round. You must win _ no ties. (possible 4 points for a team).
3. Compare the best score within each team to the other teams for each hole. The winner gets a point. No ties. (possible 18 points per team)
4. Tally the resulting score from #3 above. Low score wins 1 point - no ties. (possible 1 point)

Easy enough, right? I set up the initial sheet with 4 teams to test. After I got finished though I realized I will have to manually insert each team into the "score card". this means that in my calculations below the "score card" I need to insert one row into each area where I am calculating a given criteria. I have an area for each rank and 1 for the teams. I'll have to manually insert 4 rows into the "score card and 5 rows into the calculation area.

All that for this. Is there a way to do those insertions via a form? Would some kind of macro be better? I've thought of using Access because I know I could work with the forms better, but I haven't quite got down how I would code all these criteria into it. What would you guys do?

Thanks for your time in reading my long-winded Question.
