Big Macintosh's has nothing at all to do with this. Ponies thought his actions were "downright goofy" because, as was stated in that episode, he would have been allowed to compete even if he had not been in disguise. In this episode it seemed rather obvious that, had she not been disguised, Ember's own father, not to mention the other dragons, would not have allowed her to compete.
