Default Randomize a list of Names

A common method uses the Rand function in a column adjacent to your names.
Each time you sort on the Rand column, you will get a randomized list. You
can have formulas in your "specific cells" to this sortable list.

Hello All Excel Gurus

I was wondering if anyone could help me out. I am trying to automate a
manual process of running a bowling bracket sheet. I was able to compare
to scores and get the higher score, but, instead of the score, how can I
get the name associated with that score? Listed below is an example of
the bracket sheet with cell D5 and H5 having the formula enumerated.

1 2 3 4 5
A Name Score Name
B -----------------------------------------
C John 212
D =max(c3,e3) ' this will
give me 213, I would like the name
E Jane 213
F
G Hulk 189
H =max(g3,I3) ' this will
give me 200, I would like the name
I Hogan 200

Any and all help in this matter is greatly appreciated.
