If a playing field isn't being sent on to another competition site, the cost of giving away a net is a sunk cost.

EDIT: Put another way-- why replace a net that won't be used in the next week?

My calculations (attached) tell me that implementing the 3-net-per-event giveaway scheme will require a total of 127 extra nets (beyond the minimum number already purchased). Assuming $5/net, this will cost $635.
