Calcutta

[Devo2487]

Just curious if anybody in here attends Calcutta where they're from! We had one Tuesday night that brought $51,775! And Wednesday night it brought $62,225 (the highest total since I was a little Kid An went with my old man)! My group ended up with Duke for $4300.... if anyone else does this just curious to see what the totals are in different areas!

What is Calcutta?

A live auction of all 68 teams in the tourney! Sold in categories of seeding! Highest bid chooses which team they want out of the seeds they are on at the time!

Calcutta's are awesome - good luck with your team! Use to arrange a golf trip with 16 guys (2 man teams ) 4 rounds and we did a calcutta on the teams

I used to be in one that got so big, the ones running it just plain got scared handling all that money. This was before all the tech ways of handling money but they quit because of that. Our best year was 2002 the year Indiana went to finals. We bough Indy very cheap. Don't remember their seed but it wasn't an elite seeding. Very juicy payout.

Now that is some serious cash! It will never get that big here! But still a great time! Bol to everyone let's all go on a nice tourney run
