Populate one table based on another one

This is actually for some fun. But what I would like it do is during my bowling season we have optional games the bowlers can get in based on their scores. I have found that bringing my computer helps me do things faster while I'm both bowling and doing all this work. So, what I would like to do is have the first table as a signup table. So, this one has everyone in it. I would mark a column to indicate they decided to get in this week. Then to start seeing who won, I would populate a 2nd table as an event table with only the entries from the first table. I would prefer at least the 2nd table be an actual excel table. This way I can apply formulas that auto populate and I don't have to worry about missing someone and them complaining I should have won. As a part of the fun we announce the winners so people will let you know (both kindly and angrily) that they should have won. My concerns which might be unwarranted should I have a minimum number of rows for the 2nd table? If I just have a macro say populate B2 with Anthony will it expand the table like it usually does if I just type Anthony as a new row? Finally is this easily doable without a formula? I'm thinking specifically like I was all done and a new bowler says is it too late to get in? How much rework would it be with a Macro?
