Well of course today is the day my printer dies on me. We only have 8 paper schedules so here is the prelim schedule. I'll use the university printers to get the playoff schedule printed so that we have enough paper copies.

Congratulations to IMSA A for winning this year's Earlybird!

Uni A, Auburn A, and Stevenson A round out the top 4.

The SQBS is up. It is missing a few things that will be fixed in the next few days.
Thank you Bryan Lu for creating a parser to convert the Neg5 stats to SQBS. We will be sharing this once we finish testing it so that everyone can use it.
