Makes things a little more exciting. Larry (Chromesporty) made a little extra change for his 1st in chicken Sat.
There was $5000 in the calcutta this past week, so they paid out top 5 in each category.

Interesting
My thinking was to pay in Three spots and spread it out We "bundled" the teams into groups of 3 A top mid and newer teams It seemed to work Just have to educate the Folks and get the sponsoring groups folks out there to bid

It can be an acquired, and profitable, skill Were teams allowed to buy a portion of their team back, if they didn't win the auction for themselves?

Certain teams have a history of going for a good chunk of change.

I was there also and you are right a lot of the teams were picked up by Lions club members.

I vehemently oppose outsiders bidding up the teams at a Calcutta. I'd rather swap turn in trays with a buddy and split any winnings with them rather than let an outsider take money for my win. Screw them!!
For this reason I prefer the cookers pool. |

Great now we have to bring more money to a contest.
Ok, count me in, great idea to get sponsors involved. I can see them parading out a team captain, reading off the type of smoker they use, points in the TOY or Pickled Pig standings, best finishes for the year.
