For the record, I like Laurinburg for a big event.
It sure seems like nearly everybody I talk to outside of Tarheel doesn't want to travel to Laurinburg for whatever reason. I obviously don't talk to *everybody* but I do get around (um, not like that!) and I'd be surprised to see a "big" event at Laurinburg if you are using the number of competitors as your primary metric.
I'd love to be surprised, however. And I'll go no matter where the event is held. Even Continental.

I call shenanigans. 5 minutes goofing with Google Maps found:
Greensboro Coliseum to the Laurinburg Maxton Airport -- 116 miles, 2.25 hr drive
RBC Center to LMA -- 104 miles, 2.0 hr
Wilmington, NC to LMA -- 99 miles, 2.0 hr
Continental Tire, Charlotte, NC to LMA -- 107 miles, 2.25 hr
Asheville, NC to LMA -- 235 miles, 4.0 hr
But hold on -- Asheville, NC to the Danville Regional Airport is 192 miles and a 3.5 hr drivetime, and that's where Highlands held their NCAC last year, so that defines their cross to bear IMHO.
Other than Highlands, who would have to drive another 42 miles each way further than they did last year
for their own event, it seems pretty similar in distance for all clubs in NC. What's more central than that?
