Interest in Smaller Stakes Calcutta?

[GrekeHaus]

Once again I posted this in the bottom of an existing thread when really deserves its own thread.

Once again Skipper Bob pointed this out to me and was right.

I think I'm all caught up with giving accounts to people who have asked. If you've asked me and have not yet recieved an account (or if you haven't asked but want one) send me a PM. The Prize Pool is already up to $3,100! [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

Also, I was thinking of adding a second live action calcutta for smaller stakes. This one would be more oriented towards those of us still stuck in the 11s and 22s who don't have monster bankrolls. It would also give a better chance of winning a player to those people who won't be in attendence. Or course, I still strongly encourage anybody to bid, so if Raptor wants to bid $1,000 on himself, that's cool with me.

My idea would be this. I would initially buy all the players for $20 (yes, even Yugo). Subsequent bids will be in increments of $10, so hopefully people will go crazy trying to outbid each other and we would still likely get a prize pool of $1,000+. Also, instead of doing a winner takes all, I was thinking of doing a 70/30 split for the top two places.

I would probably close the bidding about 2 weeks or so prior to the event in order for me to make sure everyone paid up. I'd give the winners a few days to pay up, and as is the case with the other tourney, if someone doesn't pay up in time, the bid will go to the second highest bidder. Also, anyone who doesn't pay up will be publicly mocked and humiliated on the forum. [img]/images/graemlins/mad.gif[/img]

Let me know if there is interest in this.

I wish to make a bid on Mr. Yugo and StupidSkipperDorkface
I can pay in slugs
If I win, I am going to buy an Oilcan & some WD-40

I wasn't planning on taking bets from robots, but if you're willing to take Yugo off my hands... [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

I got $6 burning a hole in my pocket.

Wait, I'm not interested.

Love the idea! However, how about paying through 3rd place?? Spreads the cash around a little more and makes the semi-finals interesting..... Not to mention the additional side-action you could pick up.

Just a thought.

Count me in either way. I'll take SkibberPop for $30, Alex.

You are correct for the Daily Double!!!

The problem with this idea is that then the two people who lost in the semis would have to play a match for no money. [img]/images/graemlins/blush.gif[/img]
