You could possibly also build it in an access database. This would have similar coding, but eliminate the opening/saving issue. Their picks would be recorded to a master list that only showed after selecting/locking all their picks.
after thinking it over, i think i like this idea better. Now, i know it's probably too late for this year, so i figured i'd get a jump on it for next season.
I hate to ask, but can you give me some tips on how to get started? i haven't used access in years.

Download a template that comes close then customize.

Honestly, I'm not a big fan of Access unless you have an extremely large amount of data/tables you're trying to link. For small data collection, I'm more in favor of using the forms within excel. They can function very similar to some Access functions.
The template in Access will probably the best place to start rather than going from a blank slate.
How complex do you want it to be? What did you have in mind?
I think this could be done simply and neatly in Excel (plus it's what I know much better). If I knew what you had in mind for the overall look/functionality, I could point you in the right direction.
