I can understand your frustration, however, I dont think this will solve your problem for getting on the podium.
May I also point out it very unlikely it was because they couldn't get a podium in another bracket, but more because it's easier in your bracket. They are also looking at return on investment. Gems spent vs Gems that will be earnt. For example: If they are in a good 2nd they wouldn't spend 1500 gems and fight to get 1st if the gap was too big as that wouldn't make sense, they wont get more gems after net and wont want to waste their time.
If they did lock down guilds you will find that players wont need to qualify extra guilds to jump around to look for brackets. So what does that mean? Basically, there will be less guilds entered and thus less brackets, meaning a lot more harder brackets. They win your bracket in a couple of hours currently, imagine the podium scores if they spent 2 days raiding there... Yeah, you're making it harder for them to get gems, but, you're not solving your problem (you want a podium) if anything, guild locking will make it even harder for small guilds to get a podium.
The arrival of players coming for podiums at the end of the tournament are because of two reasons:
1) People wait to till the end till they start raiding to find a easy bracket
2) People have left guilds that are winning already (normally HC) to gain rewards and allow others in the guild to get more by leaving.
Most of the players that win brackets, probably have spent in the region of 8-15 hours during the tournament raiding. What you don't see are the epic battles that happen else where before they all disperse into other brackets.
Possible solutions that are in your hands:
1) Use the first 40 hours of the tournament well. A player trying to get on the podium will not challenge a guild that has put up a high score.
2) Join a guild that always places on the podium, if the podium is what you want. But, if you do this, remember you probably wont win lots of gems as that goes to the people that contribute to the win.
