What is a Calcutta Auction?

The Calcutta is an auction that will take place on the Friday night before the Ladies Fishing tournament kicks off on Saturday. This is a separate prize pool to the tournament pool.

In simplest terms, a Calcutta works like this:

• Bidders bid, auction style, on the boat/crew they think will win the tournament (Best Overall Team). You can bid on your own boat/crew or other boats/crews.
• Whoever wins the auction of the boat/crew, then ‘owns’ that boat/crew as far as the Calcutta auction is concerned.
• All the money raised through the Calcutta auction goes into the cash prize pot.
• On Saturday night after the tournament we will announce the highest points scoring Boat/ Crew and the 2^nd and 3^rd place.
• The ‘owner’ of the 1^st place boat/crew wins 60% of the cash prize pot, ‘owner’ of the 2^nd place boat/crew wins 30% and ‘owner’ of the 3^rd place boat/crew wins 10%.
