Murphy's Law is in effect. Plan accordingly.

In all seriousness, you can expect to take a pounding. Stuff will be damaged. You'll want to evaluate what happens if something breaks as a what-if: What if our drivetrain throws a chain? What do we need to fix that? What if our shooter breaks? What do we need to fix that?

Make sure your PS knows the rules pertaining to penalties very, very well; if you saw the discussions from the aftermath of Week 1, more penalties came from there than from anywhere else.
