(I personally don't like that rule for multiple reasons)

Really I think the issue was that some teams were using the time to work on their robot.

Sure be nice to know what the reason was behind this update.

The reason is stated in the update:

Two additional people are allowed in early to bag and tag events as compared to non-bag and tag events because they must bring in all equipment and robots themselves and because the lack of crates will mean a less cluttered environment.

What changed wasn't the early load-in itself, just the number of people permitted to help.
