This season, Dawgma students are going to miss 2-3 days of school for all three of our events combined (depending if they're part of the crew we bring Thursday to MAR Champs). We had one season where they didn't miss any school at all.

A quick TBA scan tells me it is indeed still leaning Fri-Sat rather than Sat-Sun.
That said, another good thing about Districts is how responsive they are. That is, if you respond. (District events and the district model itself happen because the people in the district make them happen.) Have enough people concerned enough about missing Friday that they're willing to work on a Sat-Sun option (or the other way around)? You can make it happen, particularly in a place that's as FRC-dense as San Diego.
Disclaimer: I know nothing about San Diego; I just typed the first zip code Google gave me into the FRC team search engine.
MAR leans very heavily Sat-Sun while FIM leans heavily the other way. PNW and NE seem more split.
