Tourney players, what items do you have multiples of?
I have a Ninja 50/4500 & an Empire 68/4500. I also have a Rotor (V2) & an oldschool Eggy. Lastly, I have two i4s with a total of four lenses. Obviously, batteries are kept in my bag in bulk.
What items do you guys double or triple up on?

I double up on markers since every tournament so far this year either myself or a teammate has had a marker go down. I also keep a couple hoppers around usually because that's something we almost always come up short on when a lid breaks or a bend sensor dies.
The only thing that I should bring extras of that I don't are obscure spare parts, like detent covers (mine unscrewed from my Mini mid game last tourney  ), Eclipse bolt dentents and springs (I've seen it happen where the pin was shot once and it came out, but once in one hundred times are good enough odds for me), or bolt tips for the Axe/Mini, just weird things that you probably won't have or find that you couldn't pay a few bucks for to snag from someone else.

I try to keep backups of everything but that doesn't always fit the budget. The reasonable things I tend to have spares of:
- Lenses (1 clear for indoor, 1 mirrored for outdoor)
- Jerseys
- Squeegees
- Batteries
- Microfibers
- Socks
- Electrical tape (wrap barrel if it rains)
- Headgear (sandana for hot weather, beanie for cold)
- Bottled water
Obviously the more you can afford, the better prepared you are for whatever happens when you play. I'm on a college budget so that's my core collection of spares. Packs, hoppers, tanks, even markers, are all great to have backups of but not everyone can afford it. I tend to find that jerseys and packs are the most common thing I loan out.

As stated above, I keep two i4s with a total of four lenses. A 68/4500 Empire tank & a 50/4500 Ninja tank. An Eggy 4 & a Rotor.
I really need to keep more water in the bag & more microfibers.

I have just about double everything! Triple even of some things..
But tank, loader, and marker is always nice to have a full complete set up. During a tournament i have my back up. Which is usually identical to my primary ready to go. So even if the loader goes down i just grab the set up on the fly.

I'm also a fan of 2 identical setups. So I have 2 chronoed markers with tank, barrel bag, and loader attached to each one. In addition, I carry the following:
3 more loaders
2 pod packs
2 pairs of cleats
2 masks
2 more lenses
2 sandanas
2 pairs elbow pads
1 more tank regulator
tons of pods, swabs, batteries, towels, water, microfibers, underwear, and socks!
I just played a tourney where my cleat came off mid game. My sock was gross, im VERY happy I had extras.

Look at your comment. Back to mine. Back to yours NOW BACK TO MINE. Sadly, it isn't mine. But if you stopped trolling and started posting legitimate crap it could LOOK like mine. Look down, back up, where are you? You're scrolling through the comments, finding the ones that your comment could look like. Back at mine, what is it? It's a highly effective counter-troll. Look again, MY COMMENT IS NOW DIAMONDS.

I have found that if you have a good gun and some spare parts you should be fine. I have always used top of the line markers and have never had one go down to the point that I could not fix in the pit. The main thing is know you equipment. If you can work on you stuff fast then you dont really need back up anything. I have a little tool box with hundreds of orings, new reg parts, solenoid, burst disks, screws, fill nipples, maro line and fittings... and the list goes on. The only thing I want to get is another board and I would be able to fix anything that happens. I also use a Spire and I have 2 speed feeds and 1 lid. As far as tanks, I do not see the need to have more than 1. I use a ninja pro slp and have a extra slp just incase. I have a barrel kit that came with my gun, 3 backs and 2 fronts so Im good there. I keep 2 sets of cleats, 1 turf and 1 grass. I never seem to have enough pods though lol

I'm a freak. I always carry 5 markers at least,
3 tanks, 3 hoppers, at least 2 masks, 2 packs,
tools, etc. I usually carry only one of my pads,
knees and elbows, but 2 sets of gloves. Weird,
yes. But never once a teammate had to skip a
practice or tourney for lack of equipment lol..
