About the Tournament

The Stonedust-Bucket Memorial Bocce Tournament is held at least once a year at the somewhat famous somehow sacred Stonedust Memorial Bocce Court, located in Danvers, Massachusetts.

The Tournament is conducted under the rules of the International Bocce Association...up to a point. The Bocce Bosses have ammended the rules to encourage a festive environment and to insure ease of play. For example, the team that brings the most tasty dish for the food table has been known to elict favorable point scores from the Bocce Boss judges.

A competitive and festive Roman attitude is important, but fun dominates the play.

This tournament officially sanctioned by the International Bocce Association & the I.B.A. Executive Board, P.O. Box 170, Utica, N.Y.
