1. Who created this website?
   Answer: Bryan Mero (me) started this page in 1996. Back then it was called "BAM's Bocce Page". My nickname as a kid was "BamBam" (a play on my initials). Since then, I've shortenned it up to just "BAM" for most of my web work. I never guessed that is would be so successful. It has brought a whole new world to my door step. So I decided to take it one more step and registered "iBocce.com".
2. What's your expertise on bocce?
   Answer: I've been playing bocce since 1995 in the Martinez Bocce Federation, the largest bocce league in the U.S.A. My love of other sports carried over to bocce where I became Capo of our team for many years. I've become a teacher for many novice players seeking advice and trianing. Knowing each individual rule, developing strategies that help the team win and an overall enthusiasm for the game may have something to do with the "expert" label. I still have things to learn about the game and try to obtain any advice I can...especially from our seasoned citizens who have been playing longer than I've been alive. :-)
3. Where can I buy my own set of bocce balls?
   Answer: iBocce.com now has bocce sets available on the bocce products page. BocceBallSets.com is my new affiliate that sells all sorts of bocce sets. You are going to pay ~$100 for a GOOD set of new bocce balls. BocceBallSets.com is great because they have great prices and low shipping costs.
4. Why do I see so many different court sizes?
   Answer: I list the official size court for my bocce league. Other leagues may set different standards for their level of play. Size is only a guideline especially if your looking to build your own court. If you are considering building your own court I suggest finding the longest length of land possible (or at least 60 feet). This will give you a better sense of depth especially if you bring your new found skill to a tournament away from your home grown court. See my own home constructed court for tips on building your own.
