The file I get at the current link has the "Future of Armada" Box, that announces 300 and 400 points, again and is based on 180 Point games as well as the intended change allowing third party mats.

Never mind, they do - but they are inconsistent, in one section they say only FFG mats, then in other, its optional for the tournament host, but not optional if the requirements are for players to bring their own mats.
