While that may be practical set-up wise, if some people are put behind hours of work by only missing one day of a block schedule, I can only imagine what this would do to them. I'd likely see a drop in student participation at events. A lot of the volunteers are college students too, who may not be able to help. Heck, even I think I'd need to think seriously about my desicion of school or competition if it were mid-week (like the example you gave).
