Why do you think that COLLEGIUM COSMICUM AD BUXEAS is the preeminent international organization for the sport of bocce? Can you prove that by looking anywhere else than the COLLEGIUM COSMICUM AD BUXEAS website?

I couldn't care less what the preeminent organization for bocce is. @boccevolo

@jmxledoux If you couldn't care less then why did you quote that in a previous reply? You used their information to justify some of your claims.

[jmxledoux]

Take another look at that previous reply of mine - when I wrote that the organization was the preeminent organization for bocce, I enclosed that statement in quotation marks. That indicates that the statement is a quote from their website and that the claim is to be taken with a grain of salt (in other words, it should not be taken seriously). Hope this clears things up for you.

@boccevolo By the way, the claim that bocce originated in Egypt can be found at multiple independent websites. For example, one site says that "The egyptians are credited for the origin of the sport. Instead of the fancy modern balls that we use today, the Egyptians used polished stones. A painting dated back to 5200 B.C. was discovered in an Egyptian tomb depicting this primitive game in action." That's kind of interesting, I think...

The ancient sport of kings,first played by cavemen who used pinecones and acorns...or possibly the skulls of thier enemys. Good times.

With respect to the comment that Bocce was played by the Romans not the Egyptians - actually, according to the COLLEGIUM COSMICUM AD BUXEAS, the "preeminent international organization for the sport of bocce", the Egyptians, as early as 5000 B.C., played a form of Bocce with polished rocks!
