Rich, I agree with all of the above. I suggest prize money not so much for the winner but to generate interest by the manufacturers. I would suggest that if a number of members fed the pot manufacturers would be less likely to find excuses not to participate. Hell, make it a raffle.... However its done there sould be some penalty for not showing up. As we've already seen the interest of the observers may be greater than the producers.
