Registering for the Frog tourny...best Friday or Sat. morn?

I have to work Friday and was wondering if there is any benefit for having my partner go Friday and do our registration. We've already turned in our app and money but was wondering if going Friday would provide any added benefit than waiting until Sat. morning.

Thanks all.
