Default Re: A suggestion: some rules for the smaller calcutta.

What is the point of doing this unless there is some kind of cap? It'll just become a carbon copy of the original calcutta. The only difference will be that the bidding will take up more time, since the bidding increments & the initial pool will be smaller.
Obviously someone could get screwed by running out of bids. But they would have no one to blame but themselves. Everyone would know ahead of time how many bids they could make, and people would be able to see how many bids each of the other people in the calcutta had already used. And they could plan accordingly.

Also, I think if we put a cap on the number of bids, people will be too afraid to bid early, so we may not end up getting any action until the last day.

I don't see any reason to believe that this will become a carbon copy of the original either, since I don't think the price of the lower players will reach the same price as it does for the lower players in the higher stakes one. It might happen, but I certainly don't see any reason to assume that it will.
