In GoF they had to set up an apparition-is-allowed-zone at the end of the maze in order for the portkey to work, which is why Crouch had to wait until Harry had won the cup instead of just turning a piece of silverware into a portkey or something.

Problem is that in the book Crouch says:

"I offered to carry the Triwizard Cup into the maze before dinner," whispered Barty Crouch. "Turned it into a Portkey."

Doesn't say "added an extra Portkey location" or anything such. That would have been the perfect place for JKR to say so.
