Again I'm agreeing with Cory on this one (seems to be turning into a trend...). Thursdays are boring for a reason, because 95% of the robots don't work properly yet (at the first regionals at least, but it isn't that much better at second regionals). Practice matches are a HUGE reason for why the competition gets interesting Friday afternoon. Without Thursday.... Friday is going to be ugly.
