We Have A League!

We now have our 14-team mixed double league filled. An even number of teams means we will be able to play each other at least once this season. If you know of others who would like to join the bocce club, encourage them to join with the understanding that the mixed double league is set, but they can have access to the storage shed, balls and score board to play with friends. Perhaps they may want to organize a morning league or a late week league.

The full team rosters with names, phone numbers and emails have been emailed to you. Just the names and teams are listed on this website since it is public. On your private emailed roster list you find underlined names to indicate the main contact for each team. We have also included a separate list of players who are willing to substitute if one or more of the players on your team are unable to attend that evening’s game. We would like to encourage all of our teams to play with a full complement of players for each match and hope that all teams will make the effort to do so.

We have also attached the full schedule for the season and posted it here on the web site. Of course, we all know that some of these games will be rained out. So, the most up to date schedule will be here on the bocce club web site. We will try to keep that schedule the most up to date. If you have an agreed upon rain date with your opposing team, make sure to contact Bill Ryan by text at 802-363-1365 or email at ryan.ryan.2@comcast.net so he can update the schedule here. Try to hang on to your email for future reference but if you lose it just contact Bill and he will reforward it to you with the attachments.

Looking Toward A New Season

Congratulations, we are all on the spring side of winter and it is time to start looking forward to bocce season. Depending on who joins us this season, we are going to limit our mixed double league to 12 or 14 teams maximum. An even number of teams, will ensure that we will all have the opportunity to play each other at least once this coming season. I think I speak for all of us about how unsatisfactory last year’s split divisions were. Depending on this year’s registration response, we would like to encourage adding members to existing teams so we will all be playing with a full complement for most of our games. With this in mind, we have added the question, “Would you be willing to add new members to your team?” on the registration form. We are also asking for each team to designate a lead contact person to help rescheduling weather postponed games etc.

We are recommending that again this year that the non-throwing side of the court, judge the throwing side, and the throwing side to refrain from challenging the judge’s decisions. Also, to keep play moving, we should keep measuring to a minimum. There will be three game nights and we should all be conscious of completing our match within the allotted hour.

We will score the same as last year, awarding 2 points for each game won. In the case of a split match a tie breaker will be played. The winning team of match play will receive 4 points and in the case of a tie breaker, the losing team will receive 2 points, otherwise the losing team will receive no points. Total score for each game should be recorded and will be used in establishing standings. To be clear, teams will be ranked by number of matches won and secondly total points scored. Please be sure to text or email a photo of the score book to Tammy DeBono at 802-579-3366 or Boo_05346@yahoo.com and she will send the scores to Bill Ryan to post them and the standings at the end of each week on the appropriate page of this website.

This year’s registration form can be found on the Registration & Contact page of this website. Please have your registrations in before April 14th. That’s right, a day before your taxes. This way we will have time to set up the teams and build the schedule. Team rosters and the season’s schedule should be published and emailed out by May 1st and adjusted and revised by May 8th. Opening day should be around June 2nd and we will inform you of other dates like court maintenance and pre-season gatherings when we get them sorted out.
