Andy, I remember that feeling oh so well. '98 was my first year in FIRST, so I was still ridiculously eager. Friday night of Nationals (It was still called nationals back then, even though I was on the one and only Canadian team) I stayed up until 3am entering all the scores into an excel spreadsheet. Finally I got it all done, only to find out Saturday morning that about 3/4 of it was wrong. Despite my many errors, I still managed to correctly determine our first three opponents of the day. Was it worth it, probably not, but I'll never forget the arduous effort.

I've got a picture of one these somewhere in a photo drawer. I'll try and get it scanned.
