Not necessarily dumb at all; in fact it could be the best chance. Not only is everywhere in the same place (making it easier to plan the attack) but they're all going to have been weakened from the continual bouts in the festival and/or relaxed because it's non-lethal competition only.

I think it would be interesting (and an excellent story driver) if RWBY and JNPR (being freshmen and eliminated early on) save the day. That's how they become the heroes of the day and attract the interest of Adam, Crimson, Roman et al - They're the "Heroes of Vale" with Lisa Lavender asking to interview them and the like.
