Team auction. You bid to buy the team you think will win brisket and if they do you win the pot.

Here in North Texas most of the calcuttas pay top 3 in each category. Well known winners can go for big bucks and payouts can be really good. Think about 40 teams being sold from $30-200. Then it gets dished out to 9 teams and usually some % to charity.
