Or is it Escalation lists? How about store tourneys? I'm a bit confused as to when the new tournament rules take effect, basically.

Imdaar Alpha is 100 points, not an escalation.

The only difference is that for the final match between the top 2 players they will build new lists, 1 using Imperial the other Rebel where each new 100 point list has to use the new ships from the faction they are playing.

All of the Game Store Championships are over. Next up are Regionals which will start in the next couple weeks. Those will use the normal 100 point tournament rules.

Alright, sounds good...but in that case, when do the new rules kick in?

So do we know if there will be ships that are not considered legal, such as the Imperial Aces, for the IA events?

The only illegal ships will be the Huge ships because they are marked "epic only" or with an icon that means epic only check official tournament rules for more information
