Just to be clear to those unfamiliar with districts, while most of us do call District Events "2-day events", there's almost always a third load-in and set-up day beforehand where you can unbag, work on, and practice with your robot (at least in MAR). For the
Mt. Olive MAR District Event for example, which many call a "Saturday-Sunday event", pits open at 4pm on the Friday before, with the inspection station opening at 5:30pm and practice matches running from 6pm to 9pm.
As Brian mentioned,
some (see stipulations in posts below) District Championships run similar to a normal 3-day regional with a full practice day, depending on the district.
Here's the 2016 MAR DCMP schedule. Note that yes, we did begin Qualification Matches on Thursday of District Champs. That was...interesting.
