Notes: My first scorecard...done in godawful magic marker. Some of my notations are illegible and even if they were I'm not sure they were quite right 11 years ago. Take these with a grain of salt...but they were kinda interesting, anyway. Special thanks to Matt Benedict, whose birthday party this was (it was his tenth).
