So forgive me, but where did we end up on as far as official point totals? I recall it being 300 points for Wave 1, to increase to the "true" total at 400 for wave 2.... And then it got changed? to 400? For wave 1? Is this still the consensus?

I'm trying to decide what to build my Wave 1 fleets toward.

Pretty sure Wave 1 takes it to 300.

Its not a consensus. Its actually in the most current tournament rules file that you can download. The rules for tournaments say 180 points now until Wave 1, when it will increase to 300, and then 400 points at Wave 2. It also spells out tournament round times for each Wave. Right now about 90 minutes, then 2 hours, then 2.5 hours.
