Who is the Best Bocce Player in Syracuse? 1 on 1 Tournament!

July 30, 2019 by

Our first 1 on 1 tournament using the group stage format, yielded perhaps the best and most tightly contested 1 on 1 tournament ever!

Part of the reason for the high quality of play was that it ended in 4 hours, compared to our longest 1 on 1 tournament which lasted over 9 hours with roughly the same number of competitors.

The first leg of the Triple Crown of Bocce is coming Saturday July 27th, at 11am and you can play in it for free by registering HERE.

But what is the Triple Crown of bocce?

Every year, Syracuse hosts 3 major bocce tournaments that bring fame and fortune (assuming you consider $800 or less to be a fortune) to whoever is lucky and skilled enough to win them.
