So this being PDX VexX's first NPPL event we're actually playing, and with NPPL having added the 5-man Race To format now, can anyone give me some insight about the D4 5-man Race to 4 format? In D4, do they play the points back-to-back or does a team play one point, then they have another pair of teams play their point, etc? Any idea how many matches of four points we'll be playing? Also, does anyone have a general idea how many cases of paint we should budget for to get through prelims? Any tips or insights that we might not be thinking about or aware of, that new teams find themselves caught off-guard about? Even things as simple as making sure you have smoked AND clear lenses for playing in bright sunlight v. dark/field lights? Total nubs here when it comes to playing an NPPL event and hoping some of you can share your experience to help us be as prepared as possible.
I appreciate ANY and all responses, no matter how obvious or trivial they may seem.
Thanks in advance and wish us well in our first NPPL competition!!
