I'm not super opposed to this but it does mess with the MyUOLL information. We not only have information for tournaments now, but CTF, DD, KoTH, etc. When browsing those rankings, you can check out the character type behind the person. A change like this would lead to being unable to look up the information behind the player.
It also means people are much more likely to join events on a throwaway character, which upsets things even more. People can make and delete characters, causing information about them to be permanently lost. People can make new characters to join tournament rankings on just because they don't like their old ranking. These characters will be worth very little (to none) exp for existing characters, in a match.
Also, how far does it go? Do we start supplying players with items to join the events with?
