Start of the Match
The match shall begin with the flip of
a coin betweens the captains from each team. The winner of
the coin flip may have the first toss of the pallino or
choose the color of the balls.
Playing the Game
The player who originally
tosses the pallino throws the first bocce ball. Their ball
is now the closest to the pallino, so the other team throws
their bocce balls until they're closest to the pallino.
Teams alternate in this manner until all bocce balls are
played. A team rotation is decided before the match and is
followed throughout the match.
A pallino knocked out of play
will be returned to the playing area closest to the point
that it went out of play. Any bocce balls out of play are
considered dead balls and cannot count in the scoring.
Scoring
The team with the bocce ball
closest to the pallino scores one point for every ball that
is closer to the pallino than their opponent. Teams then
play another frame from the opposite end until reaching game
point. The team who scored last throws the pallino to begin
the next frame. Games are played to twelve points. |
