[FVC]: Longer competitions

I am considering the idea of a Friday afternoon/Saturday competition (if FIRST will allow) for next year, similar to FRC's off-season event BattleCry. This would also allow mentors and students to network/socialize on Friday night which is something I think the program needs to start doing more of. But it would also add additional costs to the event organizers to rent space and pay personnel to staff it, and to teams to attend the event if hotels are needed. Any comments?
