How is bocce ball played?

Answer 1

ok so you should have one smaller ball than the others. You have one person roll that as far or as close as they want. After that you take turns trying to get your color ball the closest to the smaller one. You CAN knock the others persons ball out of the way. The person who got closest wins one point. If two of your balls are closest to the smaller one you get two points. You can choose how many points you wanna go up to depending on how long you want your game to be. Oh and the person closest to the smaller ball gets to throw it the next round.

Answer 2

In bocce ball you should a small white ball and 2 red, 2 green, 2 blue, and 2 yellow big balls. The goal of the game is to get the big ball as close as you can to the white ball. FOUL-LINE FOULS.ln both pointing and hitting, the foremost part of the specific foul-line will not be surpassed by any part of the foot before the ball leaves the player's hand.
One official warning may be granted each team after which penalty will be prescribed.
The penalty for a team committing a 2nd. foul-line infraction will be as follows:
A the team fouled against will be awarded points as they were immediately preceding the foul and the frame will end. The team committing the foul will be awarded no points for the frame.
B or the fouled against team may have the option of declining the penalty and completing the frame.

ILLEGAL MOVEMENT OF A BALL BELONGING TO YOUR OWN TEAM. If a player moves one or more of his team's balls, it or they are removed from the court and considered dead and play continues.

ILLEGAL MOVEMENT OF AN OPPONENT'S BALL. If a player moves one or more of his opponent's balls, those balls are removed and awarded one point each and play continues.
Only one team is awarded points, so only the team fouled against can be awarded points.

ILLEGAL MOVEMENT OF THE JACK BY A PLAYER. If the jack is moved by a player, the team fouled against will be awarded as many points as the number of balls that team has already played the frame will end.
Or, the team fouled against may have the option of declining that penalty and completing the frame.
"Illegal Movement" refers to any movement of a ball by means other than the result of normal play such as kicking, touching, etc.
If a player interferes with an opponent's ball in motion, the team fouled against has the option of:
A playing the ball over
B declaring the frame dead or
C declining the penalty, accept the lie of the touched ball and continue playing.
If a spectator, animal or object interferes with a ball in motion and it does not touch another ball already in play, it must be played over by the same player.
If a spectator, animal or object interferes with a ball in motion and that ball touches another ball already in play, the frame is dead.Bocce is played with eight large balls and one smaller target or object ball called the jack.There are 4 balls to a side, or team, and they are made in two colors to distinguish the balls of one team from the 4 balls of the opposing team.A coin toss will determine which team has the jack and which color balls that team selects.The jack is thrown out by a member of the team having won the coin toss to start the game.The same player throwing the jack must deliver the first bocce ball. The opposing team will then deliver their bocce balls until the point is taken or they have exhausted their 4 balls. This "nearest ball", rule governs the sequence of thrown balls. The side whose bocce is the closest to the jack is called the "in" ball and the opposing side the "out" ball. Whenever a team gets "in" it steps aside and allows the "out" team to bowl.A team has the option of rolling, throwing, bouncing, banking, etc. its ball down the court provided it does not go out-of-bounds or the player does not violate the foul markers. A player also has the option of "spocking" or hitting out any ball in play in trying to obtain a point, or decreasing the opposing team's points.At the end of each frame (when both teams have exhausted 4 balls each), a designated official under the scrutiny of the captain/or designee of each team, will determine the points scored. Scoring points are all those ball of one team closer to the jack than the closest ball of the opposing team, which can be determined by viewing or by mechanical measurement.In the event that the two balls closest to the jack belong to opposing teams and are exactly the same distance from the jack, no points will be awarded, and the jack returns to the team which delivered it. Only balls which are distinguishably closer to the jack than any opponent's balls may be awarded points.

Answer 3

you throw a white ball and you battle your opponent to see who can get their ball the closest to it.
