NPPL 5-Man?

NPPL now has a 5-man format that will make its debut at NPPL Houston, September 19-21, 2008. The divisions open to the 5-man format are D3 and D4. I guess a new division for NPPL also makes its debut at Houston. In 5-man format, it is center flag rather than the opposite side, and there is a 5-minute time limit instead of 7-minutes. Teams have a choice of what day they want to play their 7 pre-lim matches, Friday or Saturday with finals on Sunday.
