There have been rumors - and that's all they are at this time, rumors, or maybe hopeful wishes - that maybe competition matches could start on Thursday at CMP. The theory is that you have made it to CMP, so you don't need a full practice day. Starting matches earlier would give teams more matches.

There are teams that send a skeleton crew for Wed pm and Thurs, and the majority of the team travels in on Thurs.
