Default Best 4 scores

At our gliding (soaring) club we record club members' flights, scoring
them according to a complex formula based on handicap, distance,
height, etc. At the end of the season a grand total score is
calculated for each member by totalling his/her 4 best (ie
highest-scoring) flights. I'm looking for a way of automating this in
an Excel w/sheet.

Is there some way of combining the Rank() function with Database fns?
A complicating factor is the fact that a given pilot may have n flights
over the season, where 1 <= n <= 10, say.. Maybe a Subtotal() fn could
be used.

Before I reinvent the wheel, I'd be grateful for any suggestions.
