If it is 'open' then no fees should be charged, for charging a fee is an
entry qualification for someone to find the fee and to arrange its
payment, and thus the championship is not then 'open'.  Having a fee
fixed in monetary terms simply disregards the varying effects the
specified sum has on individual entrants according to their different
circumstances, circumstances which are nothing to do with ability to
play.
