"Comped" is doing a hilarious amount of lifting in your argument here. Having a $20-30 match fee waived because I volunteered 5 hours of my time on Friday to build the match for Saturday is hardly worth it. Maybe your club does something different with their ROs, but running timer/tablet usually isn't getting your match fee waived.
This is first and foremost a volunteer based sport. 99.99% of clubs that are putting on matches are doing so because club members or sometimes non-club members are volunteering their time to design stages, build stages, program tablets, manage Practiscore, etc..., without the volunteers, the game doesn't exist.
The reason those clubs don't run a match on Sunday is very likely do to lack of man power. If you want to see a change, get involved with your local clubs, participate in setup, RO, etc...
I think you'd be shocked to learn that there are a lot of clubs where you don't get to shoot if you're not arriving early to help build the stages.
