Calcutta v1.1.1​

Description​

Blatchy Calcutta brings the thrill of Calcutta auction pools to your forum. Members bid on golfers using virtual credits, own their tournament performance, and compete for the pot — all powered by live ESPN data.

Bid. Own. Sweat every putt like it's yours.

How it works​

A Calcutta is a pari-mutuel auction where participants bid on golfers in an upcoming tournament. The highest bidder "owns" that golfer for the event. All winning bids form the prize pool, which pays out based on how your golfer finishes.

1. Admin selects a tournament from ESPN's schedule and creates an auction
2. Top-ranked golfers get individual entries sorted by OWGR, remaining golfers are shuffled into random groups
3. Members place bids — funds are escrowed immediately
4. When bidding closes, highest bidders take ownership and the pool is locked
5. Live ESPN leaderboard tracks scores, positions, and round data in real time
6. When the tournament ends, payouts are distributed automatically based on your payout structure
