Tournament rules tend to trickle into other games as sort of a default rule set. This includes even having the point value that is most likely to be played on a given Thursday being either the point value from the previous tournament, or the one from the next tournament. People will deviate from that point for a random afternoon game of course, but that's kind of the mutually-accepted starting point to migrate from.
