Bocce Ball Tournament FUNdraiserSept. 16, 2012 @ Bozarth Mansion in N. Spokane, WATo create your team or sign yourself up to an existing team click on 'Register Now'We will be holding our third annual Peak 7 Adventures bocce ball tournament. The tournament will include a meal and raffle this year. Bocce Ball is the merging of two basic ideas: the conviction that we need to help those in need, and the insight that we can have a great time while doing it. Peak 7's program serves troubled youth in the Spokane and Seattle communities. The proceeds from bocce ball will help Peak 7 keep up their great work in Washington. Our bocce ball tournament would have remained merely an idea if it weren’t for the generous contributions and involvement of our friends. These people help to demonstrate that the folks in our community care and are willing to help. If bocce ball can become a reality, we are one step closer to making Peak 7's program’s vision a reality as well. Here's what you need to know:Where is it?Bozarth Mansion The mansion is approximately 20 minutes North of downtown Spokane. How much does it cost?The entry fee is $75/person, or $300/team, and the cost will be partially tax How big are the teams?Teams of four (including one team captain) will compete in a pool play tournament for the coveted title of Bocce Master. * Team uniforms and team names are encouraged and we will be rewarding creativity. What is the Event Schedule?Sunday, September 18th. Late registration begins at 12:30 and games start at 1pm. Event will wrap up at 8:00. What is Bocce Ball?For centuries, old Italian men have enjoyed a timeless game of great skill called bocce. But it’s not just a game for old men anymore! We’ve retooled the game, left in the skill and created a great fundraising event to support Peak 7 Adventures in Spokane... and you’re invited! What are the rules?Bocce is a simple game that is easy to learn, but it does require a little skill. The rules of play will be well communicated at the tournament, but for those who are clueless, here’s a preview.
members of each team on each end of the court.
3) Each “active” player will have 2 bocce balls. 4) At the beginning of each round a small white ball called a pallino is thrown into the field of play. 5) Then players alternately attempt to throw their bocce ball closest to the pallino. 6) After all 8 bocce balls are thrown in a round, 1 point is awarded for each bocce ball from one team that is closer than any bocce balls from the other. Only one team scores per round. 7) Play will continue from the other side of the court with the other 4 players throwing. More detailed rules and regulations will be posted at the event. What is included in the registration fee?Each participant will receive a Bocce shirt commemorating the event, and a dinner and beverage will be provided. What if I just want to watch?Come hang out, grab some food, and buy a t-shirt from the event! You can participate in the auction and raffle as well as cheer on the teams. What if I win?The winning team will receive some great swag. The first and second runner up teams will receive prize packages as well. What if it rains?If it rains, the event will still go on. Remember those times growing up when you would play in the rain and it was tons of fun. Here is your chance to be young again. I don't want to register online, can I still sign up?Absolutely!
