As a side note, I still enter prize tournaments. I still want to win, and I still want the prize.

Of course I can't use it myself, but what I've done twice now in the past is re-gift the prize into my own prize tournaments....

But in my opinion if a black rook wins a prize tournament, they can choose 3 things.

1. "keep" the gift, and re-gift it in their own tournament
2. "keep" the gift, and just give it to someone - a friend or something
3. Refuse the prize, and let the tournament creator decide if they should give it to the 2nd place person - or even create a whole new tournament with the prize.

That is my opinion - of course if the tournament creator wants to do something specific, they would need to outline that in the tournament description before the tournament starts - so people like me know not to sign up.
