The MEN'S Bocce team meeting was held on April 9th and two issues were raised and voted on by the players. First was the question of changing the score to win from 12 to 10 to help shorten the games and finish earlier in the evening. It was voted not to shorten the evening and to keep the win score at the historical 12. The other vote was for the question of adding playoffs to replace the last two games of the season. The teams who finish in the top half of the standings would play each other on the last two scheduled nights of the season to determine the final winners. There was a strong majority vote to add the playoffs.
COUPLE'S Bocce hs two teams this year. The Roman division has 24 teams and the Ferentino division has 18 teams. They each play every other Tuesday.
The WOMEN'S league has 22 teams that play every Monday night. |
