The point of attacking Beacon during the tournament would be for maximum disruption. I suspect there would be many powerful fighters present, not just the students, but faculty and representatives from all the kingdoms. Such an attack is likely how they have convinced the White Fang to get involved. Basically, if they attack during the tournament it would be because there is something they can only achieve during the tournament.
