Playoffs:

Semi-Finals and Finals will be Round Robin - meaning you'll play each opponent in your group once (3 games in Semi-Finals and 3 more in Finals).

12 or more teams (but less then 16) - The top two teams will receive "BYEs" to the finals. The teams ranked 3rd through 6th will play in the Semi-Finals with the top two advancing to join the two teams with BYEs in the finals.

Less then twelve (12) teams - the top four (4) teams overall will make finals - Round Robin format.

Rules:

NPS Game Rules will be based off of the NPPL 7-man rules with some modifications. Please make sure that your guns have tournament locks, beaver tails and other required equipment along with making sure all firing modes are shut off except Semi-Auto. We'll be checking for Ramping, Bouncing and other illegal firing modes in addition to checking velocity. Scoring will be adjusted for 5-man:

Alive: 4

Eliminations: 2

Flag Pull: 20

Flag Hang: 50

Max:100
