PREVIOUS TOURNAMENTS - 2006

The 2006 tournament, titled "The World (and other orbital objects) Cup" brought a change in structure inspired by the famed soccer tournament involving a regular season group stage with eliminations followed by a pared down tournament. For the sake of simplicity and laziness, all rounds were played on the Coney Island beach.

Controversy ensued as the lengthy courts and heavy balls quickly knocked out the more "delicate" competitors. Indeed, sour grapes abound as this tournament proved to be an encore performance in pissing off Jews, by taking place on the Saturday of Yom Kippur, bringing the tournament's history of holy day violation to two out of three, and clearing the way for an upstart pair of young gentiles to see their names engraved into the urban bocce chalice.

The day belonged to team "Rupelstiltskin," who played lights out bocce for the entire tournament, eventually defeating "The Green Team" in the finals.
