I see that TJ has responded to your questions offline, so for the broader audience answers follow.

For starters, who's GVAC? They seem to run the show game wise.
GVAC is a way to promote the broad community. It is set up to collect game hosting announcements and spread them to numerous fb airsoft groups. Apparently, several thousand fb users could read the GVAC announcements.
Panther runs the show and the base safety rules are theirs. GVAC is more an open platform. Any group or player can post a game to their fb page and then step up at the 10:30 briefing and host the game. A quick chat with Elliott when you get there and he calls you up to lay out the scenario when he finishes the core safety meeting.

Technically, yes. But they have ways to allow you to use your own Bio BBs. We can explain it better at the field.
DieselRebel wrote:Panther aside, has airsoft gone Bio's everywhere? I have a few thousand non bio's left including sniper rounds
Essentially, yes. Bigfoot was planning to allow styrene until their own supply runs out. But they will require Bio BBs once they run out of their own styrene ones.
DieselRebel wrote:FPS, I see the cut off is 500 for GVAC. My credentials allow me up to 550, and my rifle hovers around 504. Am I screwed?
No. Panther will likely allow that energy level as close enough to their limit. Plus, Panther looks like it will allow the host of any given Sunday to extend their base rules.

We still have everyone's shirts reserved. Char is still storing them in the same box as before.
DieselRebel wrote:And finally, how many camera men work the games? I've inherited a nice Nikon camera but also have a go pro with gun mounts.
The number of cameras varies.
And about the players honour: you could say it's getting "better". But some players who were extremely bad at honouring hits are excluded from the main Sunday group.
