Mornin' Fellas. I don't post often, but I am a longtime reader. I would like to say that I have learned alot reading your threads. I have some questions regrading tournament calcuttas. I am fishing in the Jersey Coast Shark Anglers Mako Tourney this year. I was wondering if someone could fill me in as to how they work? How do you get into them? How much do they generally cost? Etc. Any info is appreciated!

Blue,
The rules vary from tourney to tourney, so make sure you understand that tourney's rules before you plunk your money down. Cost also varies, some tourneys have more than one calcultta, at the star island shark tourney there are $200, $500, $1,000 and $2,000 calcuttas.

I haven't fished the tourney the last couple of years.

Here's how it's done in South Jersey Shark Tourney.
23rd Annual South Jersey
Shark Tournament
June 12-15, 2003
The following information describes the various "Calcutta" levels that are available for those who wish to indulge.
The "Overall Calcutta" is the traditional one that we have offered in previous years. The "Super Calcuttas" were introduced to offer additional opportunities to win. Remember, Calcutta prize money is separate from tournament proceeds and you are under no obligation to enter any of these additional levels. It is strictly your option and you may enter as many as you wish or none at all. 100% of Calcutta entries will be paid out. To be eligible for Calcutta prizes, fish must be caught according to tournament rules and meet the tournament’s minimum weight standards. Percentages listed are of total purse within each Calcutta. Good Luck!
