Since there are questions over this, here is the berth distribution if it were with the field as of this posting. (10 berths for Sunday)

MA40 - 3 berths
MA2 - 4 berths
FA2 - 2 berths
MA4 - 1 berth
MA60 - is eligible for the MA40 and/or MA4 berths if their score qualifies them. Priority for the MA4 berth

Shouldn't the MA60 be able to get MA2 Berth seeing as they don't qualify for MA4?

They don't play the same tees.

Matthew Heminger   February 1, 2022 at 8:13pm

OK. It just seemed weird to have 1 berth between the two divisions with the rating discrepancy.

Matthew Heminger   February 1, 2022 at 8:15pm

Unless i'm misunderstanding something.

I feel that the MA4 and the 1 MA60 would possibly be competitive for the berth. There are some that question if MA4 should compete for a berth since there is no MA4 at states.

Thank you for being so responsive. I didn't know that MA4 wouldn't be at states this year, as it was offered last year.

Larry LaBond   February 1, 2022 at 9:15pm

If it was last year, then it probably still is. My mistake.

Matthew Heminger   February 1, 2022 at 10:41pm

I got confirmation that the divisions will be the same as last year MA/FA1-4 and MA/FA 40,50,60. Does that change anything about getting a guaranteed berth for MA4? With nearly 20% of the field, I had assumed that there would be one.

Larry LaBond   February 2, 2022 at 2:15pm

Okay, I will have the MA60 only compete for a share of the MA40 berths.
