OCGC Calcutta Night
August 4, 2005
OCGC Calcutta Night is open to all members. There is a free dinner and afterwards an auction. You will be bidding for the right to purchase the golfer who you think will have the lowest total net score in the club championship tournament.
The bidding is actually split into two pots. . . the A flight and the B flight. There will be cash prizes for the first three places in each flight. If you are lucky enough to buy a player, you must offer that person the right to purchase at least 50% of him/herself. He/she may or may not decline. You may also negotiate the percentages to anything you want, but remember you must offer at least 50% to your player.
Let me give you a simple example -- let’s say I bought player A for $20. I offer 50% of himself and he accepts. He pays me $10. Player A wins club championship and 1st place cash prize is $500. I will give player 50% or $250 of my winnings. Not a bad investment, for only $10, I’ve made a net income of $240!
You may form a partnership with one or more other club members. By pooling your money together you afford to bid higher or purchase more players and increase your chances. One person representing the partnership will be financially responsible for the purchase. It is up to that person to figure out who owes what to whom.
Tip: If you’re playing good, don’t tell anyone. If you’re playing bad, bid yourself up to what you think is the crest of your purchase then stop. Warning - don’t overestimate your worth.
Payment is due on the day of Calcutta Night - no credit given so bring your $$$ or checks. Winners will be paid on the evening of the championship awards dinner, August 14, 2005.
