Thanks!
You are able to get the questions in advance. There is q limit of five requests per season, but you might get more if you asked and explained your situation.
That being said, if you are going to be away more than a couple days and this would be your first season, it might be a good idea to wait until LL71 to start.
I will add there are no matches on Saturdays or Sundays and Labor Day will also be an off day.

The commissioner is very understanding and accomodating about playing days in advance. When my laptop needed to be repaired on match day 12 of LL66 and I wasn't sure how often I could get to the library to play LL, he gave me access to the rest of the questions for the season. I wouldn't advise voluntarily playing 13 match days at once to anybody, however, but when he emails them to you, the 24 hours you have to play each match in advance doesn't start until you open the link, so you'd probably want to do it in groups of five or something more manageable. The thing is, since you're a rookie, your opponents will have only built up a small sample size of question statistics, so playing defense would be really tough. But if you can't wait until LL71, it is doable, you'll just be at a disadvantage.
I am a relative newbie here, but I just began my first swim in the pool (auditioned in Vegas last month) and would love to get involved with LL as well.

I was in Greece for a whole season and didn't know when I would and wouldn't have wifi, so Thorsten let me play the whole season with advance requests. The only issue is the whole season isn't available before the start of the season.
