I've attended several Scale Masters over the years and it seems that when the SM is on the west coast attendance is low. The Biggest SM's are those held in Dayton or that area. It draws modelers from the east and west coasts.

I would agree that a fixed venue where ever it is is the wise choice. The Nats no longer roam and TG has never roamed. Having a fixed location allows for proper planning by the contestants and the event organizers. The issue then would be who would run the event? Normally its a club that does so. This would have to change of course.
