I don't know for sure, but I would imagine that you want it be as early as possible to prevent using it to easily manipulate standings but late enough to minimize the likelihood that the surrogate team will have any chance of having not passed inspection or otherwise be non-functional (obviously damage can happen in any match and render the robot inoperable for the next match).

- If for some reason a team cannot play their last match, does their "surrogate" match become official?

Nope.
The "line" is the point at which we've raised the floor so high that the advanced teams are hitting the ceiling. The ceiling is pretty darned high (and the GDC keeps raising it), so I don't think we're in danger of that any time soon. - EricVanWyk [more]
