When I took the BBI maintenance classes years ago Barnett said adjust off the bike with a tiny bit of play and then check on the bike after the quick release was set to make sure compression took the rest of the play out.

But, I'll defer to the more experienced mechanics since I know just enough to be dangerous;)
