(MS Word Doc-43.5KB) THE GAME AND ITS RULES The game of "Open" Bocce is played on a 91'x13' court with eight large bocce balls and one small target ball called the "pallino." The object of the game is to roll the bocce ball closest to the pallino. There are two balls per person, and four players make up a playing team. Teams must have a minimum of six and a maximum of twelve players. Anyone 16 years of age or older may play on a team.
Two players from each team are permanently stationed at each end of the court for the game. Games consist of 12 points, but you must win by two points. START OF MATCH The match shall begin by tossing a coin. The team that wins the coin toss may either toss the pallino, or choose the color of the balls. A player may toss the pallino any distance so long as the pallino passes the centerline of the court, and does not hit the backboard. If a player fails to toss the pallino past the centerline, or it hits the backboard, the opposing team will toss the pallino and put it in play. If the opposing team fails to toss the pallino past the centerline, or it hits the backboard, the pallino reverts to the original team. In any case, when the pallino has been properly put into play, the player who originally tossed the pallino will throw the first bocce ball. | |
