Just because FIRST has the right to do so doesn't mean that they will. Similar clauses have been included in years past for various elements of gameplay, and the point values don't always change before Champs.

(relevant manual section, section 3.1.4 blue box):
Quote:
As the season progresses, TOWERS may become fortified to increase their starting STRENGTH. While the starting STRENGTH of a TOWER will not change between weeks of Regional or District Competition play, the starting STRENGTH of a TOWER may be changed for District Championship and/or FIRST Championship play. Teams will be notified of changes in the starting STRENGTH of a TOWER no later than the scheduled Team Update prior to the date of the event.
