Dupont Thursday Division
Flip-cup Tournament
This week will will be hosting a flip-cup tournament to determine the winners of a six pack of tickets to the DC101 Chili Cook-off on Saturday May 12. The rules are simple: form a team of six people and play against another team of six to the best of five games. The winner advances to the next round. We are hoping for at least eight teams to fill out a proper bracket. If there are an odd number of teams there will be a "play in" round to see who makes it into the bracket. The last teams to register will be the ones who have to play in. There will be a black shirt standing by the skee ball machines at 9:00 to register teams.
End of Season Tournament/Party on June 23
Save the date for June 23 when DC Bocce will be hosting the leaguewide End of Season Tournament/Party at Yards Park in Southeast DC. The event will be an all day bocce tournament with food, beer and live music. You won't want to miss this! Pencil it in your calendar now!

Things to Know on Game Day
On Thursday make sure to check in with a black shirt by the baseball dugouts. Teams playing at 6:30 will be responsible for setting up the courts, and teams playing at 7:30 will be responsible for putting away the equipment.
Be sure to hand your score to a black shirt volunteer at the end of your game and make sure you write your team name on the score card (not your t-shirt color)! Check out our Rules for more details. Standings and Pictures will be updated a each week.
Feel free to contact your League Manager via email with any questions. Become the mayor of DC Bocce - Rose Park by checking in on Foursquare when you arrive for your match, and DC Bocce @ McFadden's when you get to the bar!
