I think you said you are 2250 Gilchrist, in which case you would easily get a place in the lower boards of top division or higher boards in second division.
I imagine team captains are mainly looking for reliable players so they unlikely tobe any issues of dropping people on the basis of a few results.
Ido not play 4 ncl as the time limit is very slow and it seemes a lot of travel/ accomodation cost to play 1 game in aday. In chess terms I feel a congress especially rapidplay is better value. Though you can get to spectate some high level players too.
of course some people may be attracted by the slow time limit and the opportunity to play fide rated games. And of course if you have convivial team mates it makes a nice weekend break.
I did play the 4ncl rapidplay and that was very well organised and avery good venue I n my opinion.

I was wondering how playing in the 4NCL is for players who are busy, for example university students. I see that most of the playing stations are in the south, how difficult would it be for a busy player who lives up north (i.e. Manchester, Leeds, Newcastle, Liverpool, etc.)? And how do teams function? Is a player chosen in the team or dropped from a team based on performance, like in football if a striker fails to score goals or a top order batsman in cricket is averaging less than 20 in a series, and a substitute chosen to play a certain group of games?
