Sign-up for Britton Falls Bocce Club and Leagues for the 2012 Season

PLEASE READ BEFORE GOING TO THE FORM

The Britton Falls Bocce Club is a Britton Falls by Del Webb Chartered Club. Submission of the signup form with a selection of one more of the choices makes you a member of the Britton Falls Bocce Club until the signup in 2012. The Bocce Club operates in accordance with the approved Chartered Club Bylaws published on the Britton Falls portal and the Bocce Club Website.

CLUB MEMBERSHIP

Bocce Club members may participate in leagues as team members or substitutes and have priority the following year over new members that year to fill open positions on league teams. Club members may self-nominate for a Club office, vote for Club officers, serve on committees, participate in Club leagues & tournaments, participate in Club activities & special events, purchase Club oriented items, have access to Club information on the Internet, and be on the Club email list for all distributed Club information.

2011 FEES (2012 Fees not yet determined)

The base Bocce Club membership fee is $1.00 per member to cover incidental expenses of the Bocce Club. All funds will be spent solely on Bocce Club needs or carried over to next year.

For each league a member participates in as a team player, an additional fee of $1.00 will be charged to cover expenses related to operation of the leagues. The additional $1.00 league player fee does not apply to substitutes and Inactive Members since participation in league team play, tournaments, and awards is limited or possibly not at all.

Fees will be collected late in May after leagues and teams have been finalized.


The sign up period is from April 10 to May 10 and teams are formed by May 15.  All residents that signup for the 2011 season are Britton Falls Bocce Club members for a year. You may signup to be an ''Inactive' in league participation Club member, be a Substitute in the bocce leagues, or be a team player in one of the  Mixed Leagues and/or a Mens or Womens League.  Teams play a set of scheduled league games in June and July with a play-off tournament in August. A league organization meeting is held in late May to cover team formation, schedule, and selection of team names & team captains.

There will be an 'Inactive' list for  Club members that for some reason cannot or do not wish to play on a team or substitute this season. Inactive Club members may go on the substitute list anytime they wish and participate in other Club activities.  Inactive members maintain a higher priority to go on a team the following year than new Club members that year.

You can signup to only substitute. Substitutes are important players supporting the leagues.

You can signup to participate in the  bocce leagues as a team player. Team players may also be called upon to substitute if they are not scheduled to play at the time.

NOTE: Team players in the leagues must be in residence here the months of June, July, and August.  Except for emergencies, team players are expected to play all scheduled league play and tournament games. This is a team sport and missing players can affect the team's results for the season.

Leagues scheduled for this year:

A Mixed Bocce League is available on Monday evenings at 6:30 pm.

A NEW Mixed Bocce League is available on Wednesday evenings at 6:30 pm.

A Mixed Bocce League is available on Thursday evenings at 6:30 pm.

The  priority for filling open team player slots for next Season is as follows:

   1. Team players on a team last year have the highest priority for the league that they were in and next priority for other leagues.

   2. League substitutes & Inactive Club members last year have the next priority in the order they signup for a team.

   3. New Club members who signup to play on a League team  have the  next priority in the order they signup.

Anyone who signs up to play on a team and not able to get on a team will go on the Substitute list.

A  league is limited to 7 teams (28 players).  Sixteen players (4 teams) are needed to form a league.

Note that husband and wife may be in the same League but will NOT be assigned to the same team. (We have found that this sometimes causes 2 players on the same team to miss scheduled games and is a real penalty for that team.)

Please submit a separate form for each person.
