This is something interesting that has not been brought up yet in this thread. From my personal observations (I'd be interested if anyone has actual data on this), Friday Day 1's are a lot quieter than Saturday Day 1's. It seems that for the most part, the only people there on Fridays are teams (and many teams do not even have their full team) and maybe a few non-mentor parents. However on Saturdays, there are more students from teams, families, friends, and local spectators. The vibe on Friday day 1's also just feels a lot more laid back whereas Saturday day 1's, it feels like competitions get off to much more of a running start (when there isn't 45 minutes of connection issues before the first match). I know that all competitions still have day 2 on the weekend to "make it loud," but 2 loud days are louder than one (maybe?) and matches are just more exciting when there is a large crowd.
