Bocce on the Northside

Sunday, March 11, 2007

Starting a game.

When the pallino has been properly put into play, the home team (Green) will roll
the first bocce ball trying to get as close as possible to the pallino. If that bocce ball hits
the backboard without touching the pallino, remove that ball and roll a new ball.
Otherwise, he/she steps aside and that team does not roll again until the opposing
team has either gotten one of its bocce balls closer to the pallino or has rolled all of its
balls.
Whenever a team gets a ball closer, they step aside and let the other team roll.
The other team rolls until it beats (not ties) the opposing ball. This continues until both
teams have used all their bocce balls. The team who scored last rolls the pallino to begin
the next frame from the opposite end. Consecutive or alternating rolls by teammates shall
be at the option of the players.
• Players may use the sidewalls at any time.
• If a player rolls the wrong color ball, simply replace it with the correct color when
it comes to rest.
• If a player rolls out of turn, the opposing team may leave everything, including the
rolled ball exactly where it is or they may return all moved balls to their
approximate original positions and remove the rolled ball from play.
