Yes.

2002: Rules and rulings associated devices that look like motorized tape measures were reinterpreted at the events. (Affected parts usage and entanglement.)
2003: Rules for reacting against field elements were changed in March, after the build season. (Ruined 68's strategy.)
2011: A rule against strategically blockading the field was inserted in week 5.
2012: Changed the definition of bridges in week 6. (Ruined 3928's strategy.)

Edit: For clarity, week numbers identified above were during the build season.
