Depends on your details within set of morals.
Point shaving is not morally right either, but this rule is essentially enforcing that.

Asking your students to not do their best might be considered morally wrong too, but you have said instead that is noble.

Should the #8 alliance have an equal shot as the #1 alliance? There is already a serpentine draft, now G14. Maybe the #1 alliance should have to wait 60 seconds before it is their turn to play.

All that being said, it is a rule and we should follow it. Some will use it as a strategy though. Many of the teams complaining the loudest remeber the 2002 game where you could nullify another teams victory by shaving points on your side (QPs were 3x the loosers score for the winners, and the loosers score for the loosers thus if the looser scored 0 it was like the match never happened).
