I will definitely echo that...
Nice to have the extra time Sunday afternoon, and makes sitting through awards a little easier when you're on a smaller team with limited resources.
However, Saturday was soooo so difficult. For those not aware... because of the threat of snow on Sunday, all qualification matches were played on Saturday. In a 31 team event with 12 matches per team, the average match turnaround was ~5 (imagine the stress of the elimination match schedule all weekend). If something broke (which happened almost every match), it could be 2, 3, or more matches before fully repaired. There was also very little time for the practice field and autonomous tweaking.
I must conclude that spreading the matches out as much as possible is definitely the best way forward, no matter how much I like my Sunday afternoon.
That was my only complaint, but the event staff executed their plans flawlessly.
