Tikal
In the auction variant, are the 20 starting points a one-time capital, and do the leftover points become starting victory points?
The rulebook calls the 20 a starting capital and has bids paid by moving the marker back.

Yes. The 20 points are starting capital for the auctions before the first scoring round. Bids are paid by moving the scoring marker back, so the marker's position is the pool. What remains after the first auctions is the starting victory points, and players do not get 20 again each round.
