What I'm guessing is happen is that there are just fewer Western Off Seasons because it costs a lot of money to ship the field out there. Team density is lower, so it's probably a lot harder (and more expensive) to pull off a Western Off Season compared to here on the East coast, where the fields are nearby and teams are closer.
