Strategies for foursome scrambles

Hi all,
This is my first time playing in a foursome scrambles. I am very excited but not sure what to expect. Do you have any suggestion such as long hitters hit last or good putter putt last? Please give me strategies that you think might help us win the tournament. I am new to my company and last year the winner group was -12 last year on this same course. We are playing from the White Tees and the course is fairly short. I expect mostly 9 irons and wedges to the greens on par 4s. My partners and I have been playing together for the last 2 years. Here are the players:

Me: Index: 14. Avg. Drive: 240. Strengths: short irons and wedges. Weaknesses: mid and long irons.

A: Index: 15. Avg. Drive: 270. Strengths: Long drives, good mid and long irons. Weaknesses: Can be wild.

B: Index: 12. Avg. Drive: 250. Strengths: Putting. Weaknesses: Driver.

C: Index: 18. Avg. Drive: 240. Strengths: None. Weaknesses: Can be wild. Chipping.

According to your experience. Do you guys think we have a chance to beat -12? Thanks.

Put the consistent driver last of the tee anyway. After that just get the first player tohit the green with the approach and everyone after to hunt flag. Same with putting. First up lags it down and makes a 2 putt

Put the consistant driver first so after he's safe the rest of you can bomb away with no pressure. Same goes for every shot after that except the putting. The best putter should always go last. I've played in many, many scrambles(hate 'em but do it for charity) and one thing I've noticed throughout my experience is that the winners in a four man scramble have generally cheated. My advise to you, as this is a company outing, is to have a good time and don't take it so seriously. Make a good impression on your boss by being a clean competitor and a gentleman throughout the day and be sure to have fun while you're at it. Behavoir like that stands out.
