Here's something I've been wondering: if you start a match before the tourney ends, and finish it after the 'final siren', do the points count in your final ranking?

Eg if I start a battle with <1m remaining, but the battle takes 3min to complete, does it "count"? Or is it only worthwhile if you finish the battle before the time runs out?

The points count if you start the battle at the last minute as well. This is a double-edged sword since other people can target you at this time, too.

That's actually not quite accurate. IceIX has started before that the server begins calculating the final scores immediately after the tourney time ends. If you happen to finish in the split second before it tabulates your final total then it counts but almost always it won't count.

It definitely does not count the result of late-ending match in the tournament -- but you get the 70/140 ISO and any other thing attached to the win.

It's pretty lame, I had it happening when the base interface still claimed 2 minutes let of the tournament. And showed the match buttons -- though they disappeared on click.

Concur here... late finishes definitely do **NOT** count if you finish after the buzzer.
If you finish very late, and after score has been finalized, you do not even see a score screen.
If you finish just right on or just after the buzzer, you will see the score screen, as if the score counted. However, the key action here is to look at the color of the eagle symbol next to the score. If the eagle is colored (I think it was green for the last tourney), then the points count. If the eagle is greyed out, then match finished after the buzzer, and the points do not count.

One key point here is **when** the victory message is received by the server. This occurs during that animation for the "New Reward" screen, which hides the transmission to the server. This transmission must occur before the tourney clock strikes zero. If you finish the match in time, but do not transmit the win in time, you get the "grey" eagle result and the points do not count.
