I think the rules are meant to make the ICW more even. So that clans with quantity can compete against clans with quality. I think we are all so use to these rules now that we haven't really considered what players who haven't played in the ICW before might think about them. They probably see tournaments as quality vs quality (even teams) to see who is the better team. The ICW is more about quantity. If you outnumber your opponent you have a massive advantage. I could be wrong, but this is why I think that rule is in place.
I think the rule for past ICWs was that defenders can not be outnumbered at all. It was changed for this one. I think it might have had something to do with clans who would only bring like 2 players.
