What a great finish to our Fall Round Robin! After weeks of fantastic play, close matches, and a record turnout this tournament— 320 players and 40 teams! — we wrapped it all up with a final worthy of the effort.

On Court 2, Game of Throws came out on top, defeating Bloodbath and Beyond in a hard-fought championship match. Both teams played with great spirit and sportsmanship all season long, and the final was everything we could’ve hoped for — competitive, fun, and full of good energy.

Game of Throws: Andy Altman, Tina Parsley, Espie Martinez, Todd Horvatich, Daniel Martinez and Tom Hunt. (Not Pictured: Rick Tobler and Renee Woolard)

Annual Bocce Village Challenge Tournament Brings Villagers Together

The courts were buzzing with excitement this weekend as players from each of the villages gathered for the much-anticipated annual Village Challenge Bocce Tournament. What began years ago as a friendly rivalry has now grown into one of the Villages favorite traditions—a celebration of friendships,  competition, and, of course, plenty of bocce.

Teams from each village played with a healthy dose of good-natured banter. Spectators from each of the Villages came down to cheer on friends and neighbors, while enjoying coffee, doughnuts and bagels, and plenty of laughter.

The tournament featured round-robin play on Saturday, with teams vying for a spot in the Sunday finals. Some matches were nail-biters, decided by a single roll just inches from the pallino.

The championship game between Cribari and Olivas was a highlight. In the end, victory went to Olivas, who won the trophy for the first time. But true to the tournament’s spirit, every team walked away a winner, with memories made and stories to share until next year’s rematch.
