You're overlooking other things.
Weak and unorganised galaxies might not have a channel ready before the round starts, which gets worse if you can't get all the people on IRC together. You're making assumptions that everyone is organised.
It also gives alliances the weekend to add their own members to their IRC channels, websites, forums, ingame, etc. if they aren't there already. Prune out the players who said they were joining but never started.
