Written by bashtosports.com

On May 30. 2018 the Regional Tournament in Integrated Boccia of couples took place at the gym of the Regional School of Business and Services in Dolný Kubín, organized by the Center for Social Services PRAMEŇ in Dolný Kubín under the auspices of the Self-governing Region of Žilina (ŽSK).

Boccia is a Paralympic sport especially for physically disabled people, but its integrated version is suitable for all without disparities in disability and so completely healthy players.

The tournament was attended by 29 pairs from 16 facilities of ŽSK, namely:
CSS Žarec, CSS Kamence, CSS Ľadoveň Martin, CSS Letokruhy Zilina, CSS TAU Turie, CSS Slniečko Oščadnica, DSS Synzómia Žilina, CSS Horelica, CSS Studienka Novoť, CSS Likava Ružomberok, CSS Pramen Dolny Kubín, DSS a ZpS Zákamenné, CSS Orava Tvrdošín, CSS Eden Liptovský Hrádok, CSS Trojlístok Ružomberok.

The players played 55 matches in 14 rounds. The fair-play game was inspected by 8 judges.

The tournament consisted of two parts - group matches that took place before noon and the final matches played in the afternoon phase of the tournament. The tournament lasted from 8:00 to 16:30 including the opening ceremonial and prize giving.

29 pairs were competing in 8 groups - five 4-member and three 3-member groups. Within a group everyone played with everyone. Groups played shortened double-end matches, respectively. 3 or 4 ends, if time allowed. From the groups, the first 8 pairs advanced to quarterfinal A, where they fought for placement from the 1st to 8th place and another 8 pairs to quarterfinal B, were fighting for the place from 9th to 16th. The final matches were played by the spider system.

The following three players were placed on the first three positions:

1st place: CSS TAU Turie 1 - Barbora Matejcikova, Romana Záslavová
2nd place: CSS Source Dolný Kubín - Dušan Sotoniak, Ján Brašeň
3rd place: CSS Trojlístok Ružomberok 2 - Lukáš Priesol, Michal Janči

Congratulations on the winners for the high-performance they showed on the tournament. Detailed results can be found in the attached press release.

I would like to highlight the Žilina self-governing region and the specific social facilities organizing and participating the tournament because it is the only self-governing region in Slovakia that organizes such a tournament and can rightly be cited as an example for other self-governing regions that have no similar acts released yet.
Boccia as a Paralympic Sport brings a lot of pleasure and benefits to many people who are not sporting or competitive because of their health status.

I would also like to address these challenges to all those who work in the social field and their job is the care for the disabled, to take an example from the ŽSK and its social facilities and introduce a similar tournament among the facilities under their competence.
