it also depends on the day. the weekend has much higher competition. I win on some early week days with only 1000 points. It also helps to wait, you can snipe, but you snipe in the last 2 minutes, first you creep up in the final 30 minutes,  then in the last 2 minutes you pass the 2nd place by 101 over the 4th place person,  (so they can't gold box you out) then watch carefully the final minute, be prepared to gold box if needed. You should expect to require 200-300 more than  what you see with 2 hours remaining. So if you see 1100 with 2 hours to go, expect to require 1300-1400 to win. Also I don't notice this nerf to silver boxes, I still get tons of energy, in fact now for the first time I got twice 100 energy in a silver box (two 50s)  when before the most I ever got was 75. Using river 16 and only using silver boxes, and 1 gold box (the one you get from winning)  I can win the tournament (score 1500 ish)  with less than 100k gold. You need about 300k gold as a buffer, spend all this gold on boxes, then spend all your energy on river 16, it will put you back to around 250k gold, do it again until you have enough points you will be left with spending only 100k gold or so. Also I get more energy from the boxes if I have over 95 energy. If I have less energy, I get less from boxes. So I build up the energy and only spend down to 100 energy, then do another round of boxes, and only spend all the energy when I know I have won. I think you could win most day with just using the energy from that day + the rewards from the previous win.
