Ray, I have a suggestion but I'm not sure how you do it. Have the Calcutta on the internet. When I was working, many large ticket items were sold with live internet bidding auctions.

I know there are people who have tried them, Seems like a pandoras box to me.

Might get to be giant if a person could make it work, but it seems like a nightmare to me, and beyond that, it's just asking for Fed heat.

I believe I heard it was set for first Thurs in Dec. and that people should contact the manager or owner at Lacy's for info or arrangements. I figure Joe will know what's up.

I don't know if a calcutta is considered wagering though. It seems they are popular in certain areas, and in other areas they are avoided -- mainly because of concerns about legality. They are apparently popular with golf and of course March Madness basketball, so when I searched a lot of what came up related to those sports.

Doing an internet search I came across this -- which happens to be from the State of Montana:

I don't know if a calcutta is considered wagering

My understanding:

Several courts have ruled that placing bets on one's own skill is not, but betting on random outcomes or the skills of others is. I think any calcutta that contained an interstate element would be prosecutable under federal law. While it would be unusual for the Feds to be interested in a live calcutta at a pool or golf venue, conducting one online wiould be very likely IMO to get Fed interest.

Some states, counties and cities have specific laws against or rules about when a calcutta would be lawful or unlawful within their jurisdictions.

Should be another very interesting tournament. It's nice to see that Des Moines is now on the pool map with a nice event!

Good luck to the promoters, and to Terry!
