Once an event is established in the community, and hopefully got publicity, you start to build a judge base.

Don't several MAR events run Saturday-Sunday? Scheduling an event that way takes up the whole weekend but would prevent judges from missing a day of work. Are more district events not scheduled that way because it would interfere with church or venue availability on Sundays?
