Oh yeah, well we don't have the slightest idea of succinctly!
During a tourney, one can put money into a pool by 'buying' a player. You 'buy' by bidding. Is is often agreed that the winning bidder mus offer the opportunity for the player he 'bought' to repuchase 50% of self. The calcutta funds are pooled and paid out to winning bidders at the end of the event (at values similar to as tourney itself, order-wise- though usuallly not as far down the field.
The 'blind' bids are offered at the start and allow winning bidder to choose any player
Players not bought are put in 'the field', and offered for bid at end.Calcuttas are illegal in many States.
How be dat?

Great explanation. I think I'd have to see it in action to gather anymore. Are they legal in CA?

I don't even know what CA is...
Joking- I don't know, though I expect the fruits and nuts who know will wake soon.
Edit- I see you are a fruit or nut. Umm, no offense intended? hahaha
Calcutta
is another word for "waste of money"
no seriously though most of the time you're taking a big chance... usually you try to either get a blind bid and go with the best player in the house. (Nevel usually)
OR you pick a guy who you know can play and get him for cheap. Then you hope he gets a good draw and plays "way over his head"
Most of the time the "cream rises to the top" so you hope to atleast finish in the top two or else its a bust.
I know personally... many times.. why do i keep doing this?
But yea around the South... Nevel has been killing it. I was his first victim 2weeks ago.

Well I can tell you that he would not be my first pick tommorow at Randolphs in Hickory. He might win his fourth tournament in a row this weekend on the Viking tour stop (last three wins on Shannons tour) but a local player has made me money every time I bought him in the calcutta. And he will go for about a fourth or less than Larry, usually 80 dollars. No I ain't telling who because Mike Janis will try to buy him tommorow. LOL

Brian Capps or Adam Pendley are real safe bets at Randy's. Enjoy the event Leonard...I'm "on call" to take my wife to the delivery room so I'm going to miss it.

Don't think I would hesitate to buy either of these players if you know what I mean there KV, hope you get a Christmas or New Years babyboy.
