The Game is Balanced for 2k

When it comes to the competitive discussion of the game, which seems to be the theme of this place, it’s worth reminding ourselves that this game is not played competitively outside of 2000 points.

Will you find the odd regional tournament doing 1000 points or the odd escalation league? Sure. But these are outliers to the vast majority of competitive in tournament play.

Each week several posts are made asking for list, advice, balancing questions, or general discussions regarding the 1000 point format. The result is always the same: the Game is not and will never be balanced around half of the available points and so you are setting yourself up for a balancing failure.

I understand that not everybody has the time or resources, or even plastic, to play 2000 points regularly. But I wonder if there are other communities that are better suited to answering specific questions for this point format.
