The BC Jesters are holding their annual Doubles Calcutta on Friday, June 20, 2014, at The Vancouver Lawn & Tennis Club and Vancouver Racquets Club. 2/3 of the monies raised will again go directly to the 2020 Fund which is an initiative of Squash BC that promotes the growth of the game of squash through the development of junior squash. This event is open to the public and admission is FREE.

• Bids are accepted for individual players and each player has a handicap.
• Once the bidding closes players will be randomly assigned to teams and randomly placed in the draw.
• Each team’s handicap will be the sum of the two team member handicaps added together (i.e. it is possible for a team to have a negative handicap.)
• All matches are best of five games.
• ‘Pro-am scoring’ will be in effect – i.e. a team team that loses a game gets 3 additional handicap points for the next game – unless this would bring them automatically to 15 points, in which case the three points are subtracted from the other team’s handicap. If a team loses the first game and then wins the second game, the three points that were awarded after the first game are deducted (rather than added to the other team).

This year’s bid total was $2,680, with 96 total bids being made over 3 days. Thank you to everyone who bid and especially those who ended the auction as high bidders. The full results of the auction can be seen on the website: http://jesterscalcutta.eflea.ca/

The Doubles Calcutta Draw is attached below, with net handicaps indicated after each team.
