Do you really want that? Do you think the GDC really wants that?

I don't think it is particularly unfair to tweak this rule, since the match results from Week 1 don't carry into Week 2 and beyond. Winners in Week 1 were determined with rules that applied to all the teams in those competitions.

If the GDC decides to modify a rule, it would apply to all teams in subsequent regionals. This is far less frustrating for teams than changing the game pieces for Championship versus what was used in the regionals (remember the much softer Poof Balls for Aim High in Atlanta?)
