​COMPETITION:

• The tournament format will be determined by the number of athletes registered.

• A full set of rules can be found at  USA BOCCIA RULES

• Boccia is a throwing sport played indoors, seeded with leather-like balls.  Boccia is played indoors on a smooth surface. The court is 6 meters by 12.5 meters.  The court includes a player's box measuring 1 meter by 2.5 meters.  The player remains in their playing box (with a few exceptions for coming on the court to look and 1-minute timeouts between ends).

• Each player has 6 balls (red or blue) and a Jack (white target ball).  Players are allowed to bring their own set of balls.  There will be game balls available.  If a player cannot throw or kick the ball onto the court, they play with a ramp.

• A coin is toss to determine the color of balls each player will play with, the winner will choose what color of balls they would like to play with.  Red starts by propelling the Jack ball onto the court.

• ROTATION OF PLAY:  The player who threw the Jack, then follows up with their colored ball.  Blue then plays trying to get closer to Jack.  The color that is closest to the Jack does not play until their opponent's ball is closer or their opponent plays all of their balls.  Then any remaining balls are thrown trying to get closer to the Jack. 

• SCORING:  After all balls have been played, the END is scored.  The color that is closest to the Jack scores.  The closest color gets as many points as the number of balls closer than their opponent's closest ball to the Jack.

• Four Ends are played with Red serving Ends 1 and 3.  And Blue serving 2 and 4.  At the completion of 4 Ends, the highest score wins.PENALTIES FOR FOULS:Retraction of the played ball-
