I really think the reason they are doing this is just to make it easier to do the bracketing. The existing rules are just too restrictive and remove a lot of flexibility from the committee. I think the existing situation also forces them to preplan a bit too much on the last weekend as it becomes too complicated to adjust after the last few league tournament games.
