Russ, the system does have a "group" capability that I dearly love in that I can go in and select X courses and put a reasonable time span. Then I can list 8 (or 12) players by name and number. The system automatically puts us in 2 or 3 consecutive tee times on the same course, dividing the players by the order in which they were submitted. During high season, we had no problem getting the eight-some in every week, generally getting FDR, Truman, Bacall, or Bogie, our favorite courses anyway. During Spring, we expanded to 12-somes a couple times and had no problem, but I don't know how successful we would be with 12 in high season.
Re the question about why we want to have full foursomes/eightsomes, we play a very relaxed scramble and there's always a chance that if we were to pick up a walk-on spare at the course, he might not appreciate our demeanor and why ruin someone's outing. If we play with one team having only 3 players, we work around that with extra shots. But nobody really cares who wins after the first 3 minutes of bragging are over.
