CLICK HERE TO GO TO THE SITE!!!
Standard calcutta format (i.e. not parimutuel):
• Deadline: The calcutta ends Wednesday July 14th at 5:00 PM Eastern.
• Payment: Josh LaFountain AKA “Wurgler” will be handling the collection of money and prize payouts. Accepted payment methods are Money Order, Certified/Cashiers Checks, and PayPal. We will post the information after the bidding closes. Please contact Josh if you have any questions regarding payment. Payment instructions will be given after Auction’s close.
NOTE:
a) No partial payments if you split a golfer!!! It’s too much of a hassle for us to keep track of. The person who actually won the bid is responsible for the entire amount.
b) Be able to make your payment within 24 hours of the end of the bidding. If this is not possible, have someone else bid for you who can.
c) A small administrative fee (3%) will be deducted from the total prize pool.
Please remember the One Hour Rule:
• 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 4:00 and 4:00 PM on Wednesday July 14th) 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 Tiger Woods at 4:26 PM on the 14th, Tiger’s deadline will be extended until 5:26 PM. If someone then bid again on Tiger, at say 5:02 PM, then his deadline would be further extended to 6:02 PM.
• Betting Minimum: Each player will begin with a bet of no less than $10. Bidding increments go up as the bids get higher.
• The Field: There WILL be a Field Bid, however it will not be available until the main bidding period ends at 5:00 PM on Wednesday, July 14th. At that point, all players who have not received a bid, will be included in “The Field”. Bidding will continue as per the One Hour Rule set forth above.
• Prize Structure: Four prizes, split will be 40%, 30%, 20%, and 10% of prize pool.
• Sign Up: You will be required to register before you place a bid. PLEASE, ONLY USE YOUR REAL NAME!!!
• Email Notification: You will (should) receive an email notification indicating that your bet has been accepted. You will (should) also receive an e-mail notification when someone places an Outbid on a player that you had action on. There have been issues in the past with emails, so please don’t rely on them!
