That could also be a possibility, depending on what standards you wish the match to be played by. That is, an amateur or a professional event. And since it's supposed to be a challenge event, the latter option seems like the most obvious choice. The other scenario would lack the validation of the authors and distributors, which I believe to be a necessity if it has to have any credibility in the public whatsoever. Maybe I'm silly, but it seems very obvious. Given the scarce information released at this point by various sources, it might actually not be a lot better than the rather crude option you mention and they get $5000 as well. Not a bad deal.
