1 on 1 Tournament Recap

July 26, 2016 by

Our annual 1 on 1 tournament is the first leg of the bocce triple crown, and how we determine who the best bocce player in Syracuse is.  So, what does it mean to be named the best bocce player in Syracuse?

I wanted to find out so I took a poll. Not just any poll though, I stuck to the experts . . . according to L.L. Cool J, Cool Moe Dee, Coolio, and Cool and the Gang there’s nobody cooler than the best bocce player in Syracuse, and that’s a fact.

                          I’m gonna knock you out . . . of the 1 on … Read More »

Week 8 Recap

July 25, 2016 by

Did you know that the word bocce is derivative of the Italian word baci, meaning kiss? I feel its appropriate, because bocce, at its core, is about contact. The most satisfying moments come when you touch the pallino or knock out the other team’s shot. One way or another we are all trying to earn that kiss when we play, and like a romantic kiss, bocce is can feel so simple yet so complicated.

This guy knows what I’m talking about.

Aint no particular sign I’m more compatible with, I just want your extra time and your, Kiss.

Week 7 Recap

Can you believe its week 7 already? The season is flying by, but that just means we’ve been having fun. I hope lucky number 7 brought you good luck on the bocce field, even though I know mathematically that 50% of you lost.

Our bocce has been rain free so far this year, which is 9 straight weeks when you include the preseason week and the make up week. On top of all that sunshine, the temperatures have been nice and hot which makes me want to take a look at who is hot in the standings.

I’ve got to start with Droppin Balls, who were 4-5 and languishing in the bottom half of the standings just … Read More »

Make Up Week Recap

July 11, 2016 by

The Turbo Bocce season is 30 games long. That’s 10 weeks of three game sets. We also give you two “make up weeks” to get your games in. The first make up week always falls on 4th of July week, and the second is the last week of the season, which will fall on August 10th this year. Any games you have not played by August 10th will be forfeits (but everybody makes the playoffs anyway).

So this week marks not only the birth of our nation but the first make up week of our season and that, I think, deserves fireworks.

We had some on the field fireworks too as our teams had to deal with … Read More »
