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.

Is there any chance you've finished testing this?

I'm gonna run one more test tonight. Sorry for the delay with this, it has been a bit hectic.
