Can someone explain what the benefit is of having a Friday night check in for tournaments? It takes just as much time on a Saturday and you dont have to make the extra trips..
Other than necessitating a dozen extra hotel nights per team for their hotel partners?
They need field marshals to be at the field an hour before the first game anyways. The only thing I can think of is that if there's an issue Friday, teams will have a bit extra time to fix it. It's just not good enough reason to justify the extra few hours and hassle to team managers.The only benefit seems to be for the person from the club who checks the teams in doesn't have to wake up early Saturday am to do this task.

Most tournaments have changed to check in an hour before the first game. The only tournaments that haven't changed that I know of are Legends, West Coast and Notts Forest.
