Get ready to go balls out at the Vigilucci’s Beach Bocce World Championship!
Check-in starts bright and early at 8:00 am, with the action kicking off around 8:45 am. We’re diving into the excitement with round-robin play, where the top two finishers per court score a ticket to the thrilling single-elimination showdown. It’s a battle royale until we crown our World Champions in each division!
Prematurely ejected? That’s never a good thing. But no sweat – you can have another go! Head over to the Premature Ejection Tournament tent and sign up for more bocce thrills. A nominal fee gets you back in the game!
Parking problematic? All day parking in Del Mar for $20.60 per parking spot. Therefore, you won’t need to feed the meters all day. Get it done first thing and leave it be. Better yet, take an Uber. Just remember, no overnight parking, folks!
Bottoms Up! Responsibly of course – and bring your ID, even if you look much “wiser” than 21! We’ve cordoned off the tournament area so you can sip and score ONLY inside the tournament site! Everyone is a VIP and will get the royal treatment with complimentary drinks and treats in our VIP Tent. Just no BYOB, please! Let’s keep the party going responsibly.
Glass containers? Nope, not on our watch. Keep it safe and smooth.
When you gotta go, you gotta go! Use the Wanker Relief Stations at the Northern part of the beach – under the bridge and in the sand is not your toilet! But no one will know if you’re in the ocean, just sayin’!
VIPs and sponsors, get ready to stand out with your exclusive wristbands granting access to the VIP Tent, where you’ll find complimentary food, spirits, and more perks than you can shake a bocce ball at!
Spectators, though we love having all our friends and family around, this year is a little bit different. The size of the event is limited. It’s a public beach so we can’t stop them from being on the beach, but won’t be able to enter inside the tournament boundaries – tell them to bring their binoculars! I REPEAT, NO SPECTATORS CAN ENTER THE TOURNAMENT AREA!
Getting’ Hangry? We’ve got your back with a delicious lunch from Vigilucci’s Restaurant Group.
Dress to impress in a team costume – because why not? This year, we’re adding some spice with a costume contest and a fantastic prize for the winner!
Size does matter, and our courts are the perfect size at 30 feet x 15 feet.
No BYOB, booze or balls. No need to bring your own balls – we’ve got you covered with 107 mm sets provided.
No puff-puff give, cigs, celebratory cigars, vapes or other items that create smoke, or stuff that looks like smoke, are allowed on the beach.
Big Brother is watching. The City of Del Mar has welcomed us back and we’re so excited! BUT, let’s call this a test. Please please please follow the rules so that we’re welcomed back bigger and better next year. Look out for one another and represent the tournament by following the rules and helping others follow the rules.
It ain’t over until the fat lady sings – and wait ‘til you see the fat lady! Due to the size of the tournament, please stay to play AND to watch! Once you’re done playing stick around and cheer on the remaining teams! There will be a present-to-win raffle at the end of the day; you snooze you lose!
