Hi SP,
Points vary from game to game. 1850 is the standard but like I said there is a some variation.
Some people arrange games before hand using the pick up game forum. I usually just go up there and find a game.
Main rules and ITC are both used. We use ITC rules in the local tournies.
No real bans.
There is a ton of FW in the area and most games contain at least one or two FW models.
WYSIWYG is observed but as long as you communicate with your opponent most players are fine with proxies.
Keep an eye out for announcements concerning the new GW Tank Shock events, as they are aimed at new/returning players.
