Trophy Only?

I see that tournament players may opt for trophy only, no cash or merchandise payout, and at a reduced entry fee. Rule 2.5 in Competition Manual. Sounds like a good idea. Must be approved by the TD. Has anyone done this? How much savings from regular entry fee?

I have done it, it was quite a bit cheaper, don't remember the actual costs. An excellent way to step up a division without risking too much capital or to play in a tournament when cash is tight.
