You may be confusing a "best ball" tourney with a scramble. In a best ball format, there really is no "team". Each person plays their own ball tee to green and the best score of the two/four is what goes on the card. In a scramble, everyone tees off, but then each player plays the next shot from where the team feels is the most advantageous position. Every player plays from the same place after the tee shot. I've played in a lot of scrambles, but only a couple of best balls.
