How much of it is real religion, and how much is societal? Maybe that is the origin, but I would think many people consider Sunday a normal day off, not a religious day off.

Actually, I would think many of the concerns regarding tournaments is much more logistical than anything else. Many of these tournaments have been planned out months in advance - venues rented, hotel rooms reserved, staff hired, and so on. What if the venue being used is already booked for a concert on Sunday? What if half the concession stand workers can't change their schedules and be there on Sunday instead of Saturday? There are a lot of details involved, which would make it hard to just change a date of a game to accomodate one or two possible participants.
