3.1.2 says when the first CYCLE starts:
And so currently I'm reading that Truss/Catch points CAN be earned with balls left over from autonomous, but I expect a rule change/clarification on this points.

The problem is that truss/catch points are limited to 1 each (20 points total) per cycle. But the balls in play at the end of Autonomous are not part of a cycle, so by a lteral reading of rules, you could re-lauch/catch with a post-autonomous ball any number of times.

I expect a rule modifaction that either limits a post-auto ball to 1 set of truss points, or to set truss points as being part of a cycle (as assist points currently are). This clarification would significantly impact an alliance strategy.
