In the first round of the judging process, the Judges will also perform a cursory review of the Entrant’s Software primarily to confirm that the Software will function as described in the selected materials. In the event that the Judges are unable to get an Entrant’s Software to function after reasonable efforts, that Entrant may be disqualified. Notwithstanding any other provision to the contrary, the Judges may (in either round of the judging process) contact Entrant to request a bug fix or other minor modification to the Software to address a functionality or stability issue (any a “Bug Fix”) or implement any Big Fix provided by Entrant after the Submission Period and may, in judging an Entry, consider the Software as modified by any such Bug Fix. However, the decision to request or implement any Bug Fix is within Sponsor’s sole discretion. Sponsor will be under no obligation to request a Bug Fix or implement any Bug Fix provided and may disqualify any Entrant whose Software is not completely functional when submitted in this Contest.

However, the email we all just got is a bit different in nature than being contacted to address specific bug/stability issues. If everyone is submitting new builds, how can they possibly enforce that any changes aren't huge new chunks of content? While my entry doesn't really have any bugs at this point, I don't have a week to spend on further improvements so does that mean other entries will get an extra week?

Maybe a little unfair, but doesn't seem like that big of a deal. They chose Monday so that people with 9-5's can get some fixes in and not be left behind. You still have to get past the first round to be able to submit a bug-fix build anyway.
Seems like you guys are overreacting.
