Another advantage is that you can load all your mags the night before and then concentrate only on shooting during the match. It's not a big advantage, but it's one less thing to mess with at a time when avoiding distractions is helpful.
Also, all else being equal, felt recoil tends to be less with a semi-auto. Again, maybe not a huge advantage, but it makes shooting a little easier and every little bit helps.
Finally, shooting semi-autos tends to just be less messy than shooting revolvers. Cleanup for you and for the gun is easier and while that may not buy you anything during a match, it can be a consideration when making the choice. I tend to shoot my semi-autos more often than my revolvers for this reason even though I really prefer revolvers.
