My comment was partly aimed at the regionals too though.

My employer does NOT give me all the time off work; I wish. I have successfully convinced him that it is a worthwhile investment for him to give me two days (one regional) off to volunteer.

Living in a region with 5 easily accessible, and a couple more less easily accessible events (NYRO, ONTO, QCMO, ONWA, ONTO2, MICMP), I would love to be able to watch more of the events. If they were Fri/Sat/Sun instead of Thu/Fri/Sat, I'd be able to watch the important parts (and be with my teams) without needing to take extra days off work.

It might not be the solution for CMP, due to the excessive distance for many teams making the travel/recovery day necessary, but I think it would be good for the regionals. Seems like they're starting to try it with some events (CVR and some of the districts this year)
