ASP isn't an option on a FutureQuest account. However, there are several other scripting languages that you can choose from. Do you have MySQL with your account (Gold or Platinum packages only)? If you do, I'd personally use PHP. Perl is something to consider if you don't have MySQL.

If you don't have any programming experience, check out www.hotscripts.com to see if there are any pre-built scripts that offer the functionality you're looking for.

Depending on how much info you have on each team and how many teams, you might fill a single page or two pages with all the teams' info and target each link to an anchor at that team's info, thus requiring only one or two additional static pages. I wouldn't know how to automate the input on that, but I think it could be done.

One possibility you might consider, is this product:
DBman
http://www.gossamer-threads.com/scripts/dbman/index.htm

I haven't personally use it, but it has been favorably mentioned in this forum by a number of site owners. It doesn't require MySQL. If you do have MySQL, there is also a MySQL version.
