Shift Competition focus to Saturdays, not Sundays

[TheSpeedSkewber]

Hi. I am a Christian cuber who goes to competitions. The 'Main Day' of most competitions (at least where i am in the UK) seems to always be Sunday. As a church-goer, this means I, and other religious or church-going people cannot compete in events such as 3x3, and even worse - if i or someone else were to win a Saturday event, they could'nt collect their prize on the Sunday. I would like this to be changed to give all cubers a chance to show their skills.

I’m not Christian, but does it really do that much damage to miss one visit to church in a while?

Hi, I'm also a christian and go to church on sundays. I can still go to comptetions on saturdays, and every now and then there even is a competition that is entirely on saturday. I don't think we can demand a shift to saturdays for the whole communtity, if you want comps on saturday the best way might be to organize comps yourself.

It is not about missing church (although that plays a role too), it is about the fact that the sunday is a special day for christians and should not be used for competitions.

I get it that non-religious people might not understand that but up to this point in the Dutch community I have only noticed respect for this decision (for example, they were willing to not let registration for upcoming competitions start on sunday anymore) which I really appreciate.

Edit: btw, this is not a problem for all christians. For example, Tingman is a christian but goes to competitions on sundays, seemingly without having an issue with that.
