Calcutta Question - Elks

[Bucktailboys.com]

I was given the privilege to do all the work for the upcoming tournament. Are calcuttas organized by the organization running it? Also does anyone know how many and how much they are?
Thank you for your help!

Last year there were 3 Calcuttas: 50, 100, 200

You opt to pay into a "pool" of anglers at different cash values. Top fish if in the "pool" takes the cash for that calcutta value. Always best to go "all in" for the three but sometimes guys don't and only get prize money from what they entered.....hope that makes sense
