An area qualifier can never be a niche or localized event. The AC qualifier needs to be exposed to as my sailors as possible. Although it may be nice for those local to the venue to have the qualifier is the same location year over year it's a burden for those not from that particular area. Every area should make an effort to move the event around so the travel burden is shared equally.

This has been done in Area D South for a very long time (credit JW). We are getting a distinctly different set of sailors from venue to venue and the numbers are surprisingly consistent.
