I wasn't at the Mount Olive event, but unfortunately it sounds like everything that could go wrong did go wrong this year.

Week one events have never been without field issues. Unfortunately there is not always a way to "opt out" of week one events. If no one attended week one events then there would be no week two events! Week one events have many advantages and disadvantages so as previously mentioned it can be a gamble with the outcome your team receives from attending one.
We typically prefer not to attend week one events, but Mt. Olive has always been a 1st class district event. Great location, parking, venue, food and people, etc.
With that said Mt. Olive will most likely remain as our "go to" event for 2015 even if it is a week one event.
