No one owns the name. It was not "his" event. It was named after him after being called just "The Masters" for many years. He was not a principal is setting it up, but he has been chief judge several times. At 82 years old, he still flies everyday he can, but he isn't up to heading up an event like this.

I guess things change. The TOC drove a lot of innovation and technology in RC for many years, and it looked like the DL masters would do the same. It was already driving noise down dramatically for large scale aircraft, and it was likely that advances in aerodynamics such as side force generators might have been allowed in the future to drive technology. I don't see any other event really following on in its footsteps at this point.
