Description

Dear Bocce People, Are you feeling strong? Are you feeling clever? Are you feeling lucky? Good! Because Linear Bocce is back!! The northern hemisphere’s fastest-growing sport makes its return with the North American Championships on May 13th, 2023. Where: Indianapolis, Indiana; in the alley at 42nd Street between Park Avenue and Broadway Street. Meet at 3 p.m. in the parking lot of the IMCPL Broadway Branch library, 4180 N. College Ave. (this is the starting point). When:May 13th, 2023 --Rain Date: May 14th, 2023; Start time 3 p.m.; Regulation play concludes 5 p.m.; Playoffs: 5 p.m. - 5:20 p.m. (ish) Why: Because What to bring: Bring your own bocce balls (3 per person) and your own refreshments. Cheese, crackers and so on. Adult beverages are encouraged (as this is a high-anxiety competition). Many competitors haul their goods in some kind of cart or wagon, which works much better than a backpack as you travel down the alley. Prizes: Yes (probably) Cost: $30 plus Eventbrite fee (per our tradition, at the event’s conclusion, together we will pick the charity that gets the dough; we vote -- it's totally democratic) Banquet: We will repair to the Red Key Tavern, 5170 N. College Ave. for post-tournament visitation and beverage consumption at roughly 6 p.m. (attendance here not mandatory, but strongly encouraged). Dress code: Some type of neck-wear is mandatory; tie, scarf, ascot, whatever, your choice — but something around the neck as this is a high-class affair. (We are essentially tramping through peoples' backyards; if we appear high-toned, homeowners are less likely to call police.) Sanctioning body: American Association of Linear Bocce Looking forward to seeing everybody. Best wishes, Will Higgins, Commissioner, American Association of Linear Bocce Questions? 317-966-3680
