There are other benefits involved, the merits of which have been discussed 
elsewhere; I have no problem with those. But I am not convinced that 
insurance costs are a valid justification for pay-to-fight.

        probably the most valid justification I can think of for pay-to-fight is 
        that if Joe Schmuck comes to an event, fights, gets somebody hurt, and 
        isn't a member, then the Society (last I heard, but correct me when I'm 
        wrong) doesn't have to pay diddly to anybody. The reply "We only cover 
        members..." when asked wouldn't surprise me a bit, by Occam's Razor of 
        Murphy's Law: 
        
        "The least complicated explanation is the one that's going to get you in 
        the most trouble at the least opportune moment."
