Improvements can be made if you have time. For instance, you could make individual pages via SimplePortal and import the content from Google Spreadsheet via an iframe in said page. The owner(s) must click on publish, then paste the link into something along the lines of the code available in the roster example page I just made.http://www.profsl.com/smf/index.php?page=BackyardNHLRosterExampleSo basically...1) Make spreadsheet2) Click on file, publish (that one I made has a clone of your existing one, as I cannot publish it without access, so don't think that updating your current spreadsheet will change that page - it won't)3) Get the link4) Make a new SimplePortal page5) Grab the code from my example page6) Replace the link with yours7) Adjust SimplePortal page permissions or whatever other config you may need8) Change existing blocks to link to the new page rather than the spreadsheet, could also recommend using <a href="whatever page link" target="_blank">Roster[/url] to make them open in a new tab rather than having to go back and forth.Advantages are that it embeds the spreadsheet directly into the forum, and it could actually be expanded upon with the design and stuff, I reckon. Quite nifty and doesn't force users to go to the actual spreadsheet, away from your site.Disadvantages? Time consuming, can't make iframes to be responsive (google dictates styles) so you will have to scroll the tables.
I think everyone should update there own roster on here that way you can also personalize your team page the way you want to and not effect the official google roster.
