I said S/S because I know MAR leans heavily S/S and with Cali's frequent Fri-Sun regionals they might have more S/S events when they go to districts in 2022 or whenever. I do know that MI has a LOT of Fri-Sun and last year I know NE had a T/F and S/S event one week because IIRC Andy Grady worked both events.

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...
Always a salient point.
