Standings for week 3 have been updated.

This is wide open as we only have 1 undefeated team: Deboccery. Every other team has either 1 or 2 wins. Mathematically every team is still playoff eligible. So even if you’re towards the bottom of the standings, if you play well the next 2 weeks anything could happen.

Game of the Week

I’d Tap That vs My Drinking Team with a Bocce Problem

Currently they’re the 2nd and 3rd ranked teams. A win would almost assure a playoff appearance. A loss could crush those hopes.

Pictures can be found on the Bocce In Boston facebook page.

And finally we’ve figured out the dates for the Fall Season. That will take place August 28th until October 2nd (provided our equipment doesn’t go missing again). We did have a small blurb on our facebook page yesterday and glad to see that 2 teams have already signed up. Hope to have you with us again. It’s first come, first serve for team slots and time slots.

Have a fantastic LONG weekend

Congrats to Jack N Our Balls, Pallino Loco, Bocce Ballers and Balls to the Wall. These 4 teams will be playing for the championship next week. All 4 of these teams are participating for the first time with Bocce In Boston. So this is the first time we’ve had all 4 rookie teams play in the finals. This is also the first time we didn’t have at least one undefeated team going into the finals.

Updated standings here

And the side bets have begun. If I remember correctly, Bocce Ballers and Balls to the Wall have a series of wagers going on during their match on Wednesday.

1. Team that loses rock, paper, scissors has to buy a round of shots and beers for other team

2. First team to 7 points, loser has to buy a round of shots and beers for other team

3. Loser of the match also has to buy a round of shots and beers for the other team

This is going to get interesting. It brings back memories of the finals a few years ago when people started jumping on the bar and doing body shots. That was one heck of a night.

The schedule is also now updated for next week. All games will be re-matches. You’ll be playing against the team you finished closest with in the standings. #3 vs #4 and #5 vs #6. The schedule can be found here.

Usually we do a Summer League but my work schedule is pretty hectic this summer and I couldn’t find 6 consecutive weeks that I’d be around. So I’m moving things up a little and doing a Spring League. This league will begin in late April and time slots are based on a first come, first serve basis. More info regarding the Spring League here.

Week 4 is complete

Many teams still have a chance at the championship. The top two teams in each league are eligible for the playoffs (currently Jack N Our Balls, Pallino Loco, Bocce Ballers and Balls to the Wall) but mathematically 9 of our 12 teams can still make it if things fall right next week. This is far from over.

Updated Standings

Unfortunately I forgot to charge my camera so no pictures this week.

Matches of the Week

Paul Revere League

Jack N Our Balls (4 – 0) vs Pallino Loco (3 – 1)

1^st place vs 2^nd place. Jack N Our Balls is our final undefeated team as Pallino Loco lost a close one last night. This could easily be a playoff preview.

Sam Adams League

Blackballed (2 – 2) vs Balls to the Wall (2 – 2)

Only 4 points in the differential column divides these teams. The loser is certainly out of the playoffs while the winner has an excellent chance to clinch.

Week 3 is complete

I thought I had seen everything in all the years of doing this. But last night was a first. We had 3 different matches that finished 13 – 0. So the standings are a lot different today than they were yesterday.

Updated standings are here

And it’s still wide open, mathmatically most of the teams are still alive for the playoffs. And don’t forget, even though the top 4 teams are eligible for the championship, all teams will play in week 6.

Matches of the Week

Paul Revere League

Pallino Loco (3 – 0) vs Big In Bocce (1 – 2)

Pallino Loco is one of our 2 undefeated teams remaining and have looked stellar so far. Former champions, Big In Bocce, need to win this match to have any chance at the playoffs.

Sam Adams League

Blackballed (2 – 1) vs Bocce Ballers (2 – 1)

Both teams are tied with the same record but 14 points separates them in the differential column. This match will determine how close these 2 teams really are.
