- A Player – Plays regularly and consistently shoots in the 70s or 80s
- B Player – Plays regularly and typically breaks 100
- C Player – Plays occasionally, hits a few great shots each round, but rarely breaks 100
- D Player – Enjoys the game, contributes a shot or putt here and there, and is primarily there for fun and fellowship
Calcutta Auction
To add an extra level of excitement and competition, a Calcutta Auction will be held Wednesday evening in conjunction with the Council of Past Presidents Reception.
Each 4-player team will be auctioned to the highest bidder, who will become the owner of that team.
- Minimum bid: $200 per team
- Players, sponsors, and attendees may bid individually or as a group
- Members of the team may purchase up to 50% ownership of their team after the auction concludes
- If no bids are received, team members will contribute $50 per player and own their team outright

Funds raised through the Calcutta will be distributed as follows:
- 1st Place Team: 50%
- 2nd Place Team: 30%
- 3rd Place Team: 15%
- LMTA: 5% (to cover incidental expenses)
