TOURNAMENT DATES
JOIN US FOR AG'S EXCLUSIVE 5-MAN SERIES
Step Up. Play Smarter. Prepare for XBall.
Ready to take the next step in tournament paintball?
The NEPL 5-Man Series at Adventure Games is built for developing teams who want something a little more serious than 3-man — but still welcoming for newer players.
This division is perfect for:
• Beginner tournament teams
• Division 4 / lower Division 3 players
• Teams preparing for regional or national XBall events
• Squads looking to tighten communication and structure
It’s competitive. It’s organized. And it’s designed to help you grow.
What Makes 5-man different?
While our 3-man series is the ideal entry point, the 5-man format introduces more structure, depth, and team strategy.
NEW for 2026 – Race to 2 Format
Instead of single-point games, matches are now played in a Race to 2 format.
This means:
• Teams must win two points to win the match.
• Adjustments between points matter.
• Momentum swings matter.
• Coaching and communication become critical.
This structure is designed to help teams prepare for XBall-style tournament play, even though it’s slightly simplified compared to the national NXL format.
You’ll experience:
- Multiple-point matches
- Between-point adjustments
- Real tournament pacing
- Pressure situations
It’s the perfect stepping stone toward bigger regional and national competition.
