• Players will alternate throws, player one throws first on the first round, player two throws first on the second round, etc.
• Must toss pallino at least 8 feet.  If throw is short, pallino goes over to the other team.  Both teams still throw but team throwing first moves to throwing second.
• Teams take turns rolling the bocce balls trying to get closest to the pallino
• After throw is finished, one person from each team at the end where balls were thrown goes out to check who is closest to the pallino.  If both agree, that is the decision, if disagree, then official will measure
• The team with 1-4 balls closer than the closest opponent's ball to the pallino gets the point(s). A team can have 1-4 points earned each round
• The team that wins points throws the pallino - rotate so each player throws
