As for me, there's no important reason to consider all requests, and it would be better to know final schedule as soon as possible nevertheless someone won't be pleased.
Since GCJ is free of charges, organisers have a right to determine their rules independently. I think, TopCoder is a good example. There's an announcement on its page with expected dates of rounds: "These dates are subject to change with or without notice until the official announcement of the TCO happens at the end of March. Please note we will only change dates if it is necessary for our schedule and we will not be changing any dates per member requests". As for number of participants on finals, I agree with Luke Pebody: it'd be rather better to arrange more contests instead invite on the onsite round more contestants.
