Rules:
• Bidding Start: Bidding starts now! You can access the Calcutta site by Clicking Here!
• Bidding End: Bidding will end on Tuesday, February 19th at 4 pm EST.
• The One Hour Rule: This rule is put into place to squash any attempts to sandbag bids at the last minute.
If a bid is placed in the last hour of the Calcutta (i.e. between 3:00 and 4:00 PM on February 19th) then
an additional one hour of bidding time (from the time of said bid) will be added for the player being bid upon.
This will continue to happen as long as the bidding for the player continues.
Example: If someone bids on Andy Haas at 3:26 PM on the 19th, Andy's deadline will be extended until 4:26 PM. If someone then bid again on Haas, at say
4:02 PM, then his deadline would be further extended to 5:02 PM.
• Payment: DO NOT BID IF YOU WILL BE UNABLE TO PAY.
Jeff Harlow will be handling the money side of the Calcutta. We are not making any money off of this and do not want one bad apple to ruin it for everyone. Jeff will start contacting the winning bidders Tuesday evening. Jeff will be accepting the following forms of payment:
- Cash at the tournament (upon registration please!)
- Paypal
No money will be paid out until all money is received.
• Bidding Minimum: Each player will begin with a bid of 10 (USD). Each increment bid raised thereafter will be in multiples of 10 per bid.
• The Field: Players who have not received bids will be placed in the field. We will auction the field at 10 am, Saturday, February 23rd, prior to the qualifying rounds.
• Prize Structure: Four prizes, split will be 40%, 30%, 20%, and 10% of prize pool, after the 10% deduction for Make-A-Wish
• Players ½ Rights: Any player purchased has the right to buy half of the bid and split the winnings with the bidder. We will not be
responsible for collecting 'halfs' of payments! You guys can arrange that amongst yourselves. It is the responsibility of the player to contact the
bidder if they want to buy a piece of themselves.
• Sign Up: You will be required to register before you place a bid. PLEASE, ONLY USE YOUR REAL NAME, OR YOUR BID WILL BE DELETED. I am using a
fresh user database, so even if you've registered in the past for my on-line pools and/or calcuttas, you will have to register.
• Email Notification: You will receive email notifications indicating that your bid has been accepted and when another bidder has out bid
you. However, please do not depend on these notifications as the deadline approaches.
