the current prizes in the cotsen open are only $1,000 for the winner of the 
open (and lesser amounts for the next 3 or 4 places). there is a $1000 for 
the club with the most players (see: http://www.thelec.com/go.pdf). iirc, 
the handicap section is about $500 for the top dan section (i'm guessing) 
and goes down from there. i have no clue as to how many $ eric would put up 
for this. so there is probably no much chance of getting a lot of people. 
but perhaps i can suggest some travel money or something.

ing rules also.

that would be very cool. what is mf's igs rating these days? iirc, those 
are usually 1 or 2 stones weaker than one's aga rating.
