The prize fund is very generous.
The entry fee has to recoup costs, including rent and prizes. If you don't fancy a strong 11 round Swiss finished in an afternoon before Christmas against a field with titled players, that is entirely your choice. If you decide to turn up, then you will be most welcome.
All I can say it that everyone who took part last year went home happy having had a great experience.
