5th Annual Bende Bocce Tournament

It was an intense night of bocce ball that lasted till 130am, but in the end John Dalton defeated Sommer Cook (1-0) to win the 5th Annual Bende Bocce Tournament. For the Bende Hockey Tournament, Luke Ferguson and Cory Feldman edged out returning champions Josh Bender and Tony Frankiceberg for a very controversial win.

For everyone that came, thank you for making this the largest bocce ball tournament yet! 

4th Annual Bende Bocce Ball Tournament

The 4th Annual Bende Bocce Ball Tournament was a huge success. The courts were probably in the best condition that have ever been in due to the mulch courts.
There was a bit of class added this year due to a new official score board and the presence of Anna Witt:

For the record, I knocked Anna out of the tournament...
proving that Bocce Ball is superior to Lawn Bowling.

Tony Frankenstein took home the 6 foot tall first place trophy, and Shannon Bender took home the 3 inch tall second place trophy.

1st Annual Bende Hockey

The 1st Annual Bende Hockey Tournament was big success. The team play brought a level of comradery never before seen. The tournament saw round-robin play that resulted with Street and some other guy as the wining team... I think it was Jeff? Not too sure, I will have to check the records.

3rd Annual Bende Bocce Recap

The 3rd Annual Bende Bocce Ball Tournament was better than ever. It was the first tournament that actually finished before midnight. The carpeted walls on both ends of the courts were a huge success in damping the sound. The courts also had the addition of some landscaping along the fence that provided some lovely shade... I still think Dennis is lost in there somewhere?

This years winner was Jeff. It was a bit of a bummer since no one likes him. I guess we all need are bad guys.

2nd Annual Bende Bocce

The 2nd Annual Bende Bocce Ball Tournament was a success. This year the court was straightened and we saw the addition of a 2nd court. Next year we will see carpeted walls on either end of the courts to deafen the thundering bocce balls and the Bende team is developing ways to level the court. On to this years pics...

The tournament saw many ups and downs.

It had action. It had drama. It had way too much Dennis!
