There are only make-up games to be played which must be completed by the weekend. The GOOD NEWS is the 4 teams ending the season in 6th place will be playing 4 teams from the Big Pine League for the first time.
Was it expected? - One could say NO; but they were certainly the top team during the regular season not only for Monday Night but had the best record of all 4 divisions.
Will that record stand forever now that it reached 7 and Neil, Tegan, Rosemary and the rest of the team have no reason nor do they feel like forming other teams? This could just mean Cowboy Bill's is going for an 8th straight title under the same sponsorship.
The heavy thundersqualls passing through the lower Keys on Saturday delayed the opening round by 2 hours and it took quite some work by the officials and impatient team members to get the courts ready to be played on.
Perhaps the biggest shocker of the day was Gran Vin beating the team most hopeful to end Cowboy Bill's streak, the Schooner Wharf Bar. Having been the top seed for Wednesday Night, the Schooner had an automatic bye for the first round, while Grand Vin was forced earlier to go 3 games to advance.
As the day ended only 12 teams remained.

As strange as it may sound and after the many days believing there wouldn't be any games, it happened yesterday.
After a few heavy thundersqualls the courts were just to wet and unplayable at the time.
So we have another week to look forward to.
Thursday Night standings have been posted at the Bocce Gazette!

More on the night later on...
It appears the 2nd week of the fall-season might just be a complete wash out!
Preparing for my upcoming tests really doesn't leave me much time for nearly 3 more weeks and consequently certain things regretfully have to be put on a backburner.
(Which btw. I'm running out of, lol.)
Right now there's another heavy rain squall pouring down on us and with the sun not getting a chance to perform her miracles on the courts, it just looks as if tonight might be the first casualty of our young season.
Perhaps it gives me an opportunity to complete at least our night (Thursday) at the BOCCE GAZETTE . <==HINT - click on it
I hope you have been checking it out; I still need some more sponsor information.
Ok, that's it for now, back to my "Honey Do's" with an important soccer match in the background on TV.
(Can think of a couple other places I'd rather be right now, but hey, make the best out of it.
See you Thursday!
...could I have imagined becoming a "semi"-regular at these social networks. But sometimes this is just the way the cookie crumbles or the dice rolls.
And I must admit, there's actually much more going on than I had expected.
So - why is this subject coming up here and now? Quite possible some of you quick thinkers "feel" already what's coming and yes, you are right.
Soon you can hear again the famous cry "Let's roll" being carried over all the way to Higgs Beach and what better time than now to add another call to arms: BocceManiacs Unite.
Please Note: Captain's Meeting on Wednesday, August 5, at Shanna Key! Check the official site for the latest announcements!
Bocce is without a doubt the most social gathering, ignore the Arts, and most of us play bocce just for that reason, see some old friends whom you otherwise wouldn't see but twice a year on the street just passing by and a quick hello.
Now to this tournament which was posted on the official web site, a benefit tournament for Terry, one can't help but wonder why this has been kept so quiet all this time!
Over 2 month have passed since the announcement and as far as I know the registration for the upcoming season is rapidly nearing, why can't we combine these 2 events? The league would not be involved with this weekend event, for good reasons, but wouldn't it be in teir best interest to support at least verbally this worthwhile cause. And a weekend affair like that would perhaps encourage more people give it a try to learn the game of BOCCE. People who might not want to join the league but would occasionally enjoy a good game of Bocce and learn what it's all about.
If anybody knows what happened, why the enthusiasm faded faster then it was sparked, please let me know.
"BOCCEMANIACS UNITE" - check back at FaceBook for more detailed info within the next 2 weeks.
Have Fun,
