We just ended the game and tallied the score round 6.
The problem with this idea is it's horribly unbalanced.
When I play Eclipse, I play assuming that I have 9 rounds to do everything I can do. That may or may not include taking or leaving VPs early in the game depending on my race. Not to mention that the different races are specifically balanced around a 9 round game.
Playing this way in a game robs most players of their long-term strategy and pretty much guarantees a win to a Draco or Planta player if they're in the game.
