That's it for qualifying. Over likely the next two weeks, it will be time for administrative duties such as filling out brackets, setting the play-in round schedule, counting the venue tracking metrics and logging bid distributions. There will also be qualifying data analysis. This will lead to some quiet time on the blog and the @UnitedPCL Twitter account while these things are dealt with. If possible, I'd like to start the Play-In Round officially on February 22.
