Uh, I can't think of any way to make the game more unfair than what you suggest.

Why even hold seeding matches? heck, let's just run practice matches, and then the finals on Friday morning.

It wouldn't make for the best finals, it would make for HORRIBLE finals. You'd have a couple uber good alliances that would blow everyone else out of the water, no questions asked.
