What is Bocce?

Bocce is started by a randomly chosen side being given the opportunity to throw a smaller ball, the jack or pig, from one end of the court into a zone near the other end of the court of about 5 meters in length, ending 2 meters from the end of the court. If they miss twice, the other team is awarded the opportunity to place the jack anywhere they choose within the zone.

The side that places the jack is given the opportunity to bowl the first bocce ball. Once the first bowl has taken place, the other side has the opportunity to bowl. From then on, the side which does not have the ball closest to the jack has a chance to bowl, up until one side or the other has used their four balls. At that point, the other side bowls its remaining bocce balls. Like lawn bowls, the team with the closest ball or balls to the jack is awarded one point for each ball that is closer to the jack than the other side's closest ball. The contest continues until one team scores 13 points.
