Excess play in SRAM double-tap brake lever

Greetings-

My right Rival brake lever takes a fair amount of 'travel' (close to half an inch) before I can feel it start to engage the brake cable. My question is whether or not anyone knows if repairing this will require a part, or if it just sounds like an adjustment.

Reason I ask it our team wholesale discount night is less than 2 weeks away, and If I need to order parts, best to find out now, so I can get the discount through our sponsoring LBS.

Moocho appreciado
