PREVIOUS TOURNAMENTS - 2005

Urban Bocce 2005, Red Hook: The Ring of Fire! was played in three locations around the Red Hook Peninsula. 

In this, its second installment, the tournament grew like an aggressive goiter, doubling in size (to 24 teams) in the span of just one year. In Red Hook, athletes undertook the experiment of vertical bocce by dropping shots off the back of a 10-foot set of bleachers, but closed the tournament out in the traditional playoff grounds of Coney Island. It was there that police officers gifted tournament participants with both official citations and copious street cred; a smug sense of subversiveness infected the group of near universal former honor roll-types. 

In the end, Dr. Strangeballs: Special Victims Unit pulled a shocker, rallying from their position as #22 overall seed to win the tournament, beating the hard luck two-time tournament runners up The Floundering Fathers, and winning the right to have their names etched into history.
