We've had a few questions about what discs qualify as a putter/mid/driver over the past few days. For clarity, the shape of the disc's rim (and depth) determine the class. For the "tweener" discs (such as Zone, Harp, Entropy, A4, Suspect, etc.), they are considered both/either a putter or midrange. You may choose one of these approach discs as your putter for the challenge, but traditionally most putters have a speed of 1-3.
In terms of the midrange slot, these are discs that have a deeper rim than a driver and are speed 4-5. There are a small number of exceptions to this rule as well (Glide, Kaxe (Z), Warship, etc.) that have a speed of 6, but still fundamentally have the shape of a midrange, not a driver. Use your discretion on the disc choice for these two slots. Worst case, you can comment here and we can give you the yay/nay on the disc for these categories.
Drivers are discs that are speed 6-14 (Speed 15? That's a thing now??) and have a much more beveled/thin rim.
Your choices for the event are One Putter (disc with speed 1-3 or the 4-speed approach discs), One Midrange (4-5 speed midrange driver), and One Driver (speed 4-14).
If you would like to check the speed/stats of your possible discs, I can definitely recommend the Flight Guide by Marshall Street Disc Golf attached below:

You can also use Infinite Discs, which gives your a description as to what class/category each disc is:

The Casual pros will be road-trippin' this weekend and will release a video on Saturday/Sunday to this page debriefing the challenge and our club. Enjoy the weekend!
