TOURNAMENT NOTES

 ·        In order to maintain a reasonable pace of play, the field will be limited to 128 teams (256 players).

 ·        Entry fee is $260 per team.  Check must accompany entry along with additional reservations for meals.  Submission of a tournament application does not constitute guaranteed entry.  Internal team selection will be based on greatest past participation.  External team selection will be based on both past performance and participation.

·        Berkshire Hills Country Club has retained the same staff (i.e. Bob Meheran – Golf Professional, Steve Curry – Green’s Superintendent and B&W Catering) that helped make last year’s event so successful. The Tournament Committee is excited to be working with them to make this event an even bigger success.

 ·        An attested handicap MUST BE presented when registering on Friday. A zero handicap will be assigned in its absence. Please provide GHIN numbers, if available.

·        A practice round will be permitted any WEEKDAY prior to the tournament and only after your confirmation of entry.  Call our Pro Shop for information. (413) 442-1451

·        Friday’s round (June 20) tee times will be assigned.  We will notify by mail the team member whose name and address appear first on the tournament application.  Please contact your partner!  All teams are advised to report to the registration desk 30 minutes prior to their scheduled tee time.

·        Tournament format and setting of divisions will be the same as last year. All teams will play GROSS within their own division. Divisions will be determined as follows: CHAMPIONSHIP and 1st DIVISION will consist of any team whose combined handicap sums to 12 or less and any team wishing to compete for the CHAMPIONSHIP. We anticipate that teams competing for CHAMPIONSHIP will be divided into two 16-team divisions based on Friday’s score. Any team competing for CHAMPIONSHIP and not qualifying will be moved to the appropriate division as defined below. DIVISIONS 2 through 7 will be determined by the Low Man’s handicap (i.e. 16 lowest handicaps play in the 2nd division, next 16 low handicaps make up the 3rd and so on). Ties, at the point where the divisions break, will be broken by the #2 man’s handicap. 

 ·        Visit the BHCC website, https://berkshirehillscc.tripod.com/, for the latest information regarding the Tournament.  Once you get to the BHCC site, click on tournaments and then the Pewter Cup link. We will be using this site to post the latest Tournament information (i.e. applications, tee times, etc) as it becomes available. You can also the BHCC wesite to follow  progress on our new clubhouse. 

·        ALL TEAMS will qualify from BLUE TEES on FRIDAY.  Play on Saturday and Sunday for CHAMPIONSHIP, 1st and 2nd divisions will be from the GOLD tees. Divisions 3 through 7 will play the BLUE tees on Saturday and Sunday. 

·        In the event of ties for first place in any division (at completion of final round), teams will enter a sudden death playoff.  All subsequent places will be determined by matching of cards as recommended by U.S.G.A. guidelines.

·        We will be running a Player’s Pool this year. The details of the Player’s Pool will be provided at the check-in desk before Friday’s round.

·        We have provided a space on the application for Teams to indicate their preferred tee time for Friday’s round. We will try to honor everyone’s request. If you do not have a need or strong preference please do not circle either choice. If we cannot honor all requests, the committee will be as fair as possible in assigning tee times.

·        Berkshire Hills members must sign-up through the Club Pro Shop. They may not enter on a non-members application.

·        Berkshire Hills Country Club is spikeless, please have appropriate footwear for the Tournament
