Calcutta Rules

The PCCCT Inc. conducts a Calcutta on the Wynyard-Burnie Feature Race to be run on Sunday 11 September 2022.
How does it work?
The Calcutta is divided into two stages:

1.The Ticket Draw
Tickets are sold for $2.00 in the weeks leading up to the race. On Tuesday 7 September. The Calcutta commences with one ticket being drawn for each runner in the Feature Race. If your ticket is drawn you are then the “drawer” of that particular runner. The result of the draw will be published on the website All proceeds of the ticket draw go into the prize pool.

2.The Auction
Following the ticket draw we get down to the business of the auction. This will take place at the The Point, West Park commencing at 7.30 pm on Friday 9 September
Each runner will be auctioned to the attendees at the Calcutta, who have the opportunity to bid for that runner.

After the hammer fall on each runner:

• the person with the highest bid becomes the owner of that runner
• 50% of the sale price goes to the person who drew that runner in the ticket draw
• the remaining 50% goes into the ever growing prize pool
  After the race on Sunday 11 September, the prize pool is divided as follows:
• 65% to the owner of the winning runner
• 15% to the owner of the second placegetter
• 10% to the owner of the third placegetter
• 10% to the PCCCT to cover printing costs of tickets
  and the Calcutta permit fee.
