Basic Bocce Game Information

	PLAYING A match begins with the toss of the pallino (small target ball). The same player throws their first bocce ball. The opposing team then rolls until they get a ball closer to the pallino. Play alternates until all balls are thrown.
	SCORING Only the team with the ball closest to the pallino scores in a frame. One point is awarded for each ball that is closer to the pallino than the opponent's closest ball. The first team to 15 points wins the game.
	LENGTH OF PLAY This season's games are 45 minutes in length, and should end promptly at time. The current frame's players may finish their throws for the frame. In the event of a tie, the final result shall be decided by a coin toss or rock-paper-scissors.
	FORFEITS Teams have 5 minutes to arrive and begin play before it is considered a forfeit. The present team may choose to play after the 5 minutes should their opponents arrive late. However, games can't go beyond the original finish time and the result will be official. In the event of a forfeit, the present team is awarded a win, and the forfeiting team a loss with 0 points.
	ALTERNATES Alternates can play multiple games for the day if needed to prevent forfeit of teams, or to field a complete four (4) person team. However, teams should use different alternates in different weeks when possible. Unfortunately, alternates are ineligible to play during playoffs.

	LENGTH OF PLAY This season's games are 45 minutes in length, and should end promptly at time. In the event of a tie, teams will each throw one more round (4 bags each) to break the tie. If no winner, the final result shall be decided by a coin toss.
	FORFEITS Teams have 5 minutes to arrive and begin play before it is considered a forfeit. The present team may choose to play after the 5 minutes should their opponents arrive late.
