2006 Urban Bocce Tournament

I just posted a dozen photos from yesterday's bocce tourney at Coney Island - Urban Bocce 2006: The World (& other orbital objects) Cup.

Jim and I competed as "The Green Team." We wore red t-shirts and carried red hand towels with us. The hand towels were useful when it came time to wipe sand from the bocce balls. Jim and I placed second in our division, forcing us to start the tournament right away. We won our first game in the tournament. And then a second. And then a semi-final game.

Unfortunately, our string of victories ended in the final match of the day. Jim and I fought hard, but just didn't have enough bocce tossing accuracy left. We had fun, though.

(Listmaker's photos - including an image of me throwing a ball overhand. Yeah, that final game got a little out of hand.)
