Bocce Rules: King Of The Hill (Cut Throat)
By, John Redaelli
1. Random Draw and Start of PreFinals Play: Players will randomly draw from numbers 1-9 for positioning
among courts #1-3...As follows...
Court #1:
Player #1 will play #2, to start the first frame…#1 will throw out the pallino…#3 will be the referee...Winner’s
outs...Whoever wins the frame will continue to play, and play #3 in the next frame...The loser of the first frame will
become the referee for the next frame, and so on...Alternating, until the end of the game…
Court #2:
Player #4 will play #5, to start the first frame…#4 will throw out the pallino…#6 will be the referee...Winner’s
outs...Whoever wins the frame will continue to play, and play #6 in the next frame...The loser of the first frame will
become the referee for the next frame, and so on...Alternating, until the end of the game…
Court #3:
Player #7 will play #8, to start the first frame…#7 will throw out the pallino…#9 will be the referee...Winner’s
outs...Whoever wins the frame will continue to play, and play #9 in the next frame...The loser of the first frame will
become the referee for the next frame, and so on...Alternating, until the end of the game…
2. Winner: Games Will Be Played To 33 Points (Must win by 2 points)...
3. Finals: The three winners from the PreFinals will play in the Finals to 33 points (Must win by 2 points)...
4. Finals, 3 Players Positioning: Whichever player won by the most points in the PreFinals, will have final
say on which court the Finals will be played on (with consideration for court availability). Any tie between
two players that won by the most points (or not) will be decided by a flip of the coin by someone neutral...A tie
between three players will be decided by random draw (Numbers 1-3)…
From that random draw (If necessary): #1 will have final say on court selection…#1 will throw out the pallino
against #2 for the first frame…#3 will be the referee...Winner’s out, and play will continue as in the PreFinals...
Again, to repeat, the player that won by the most points in the PreFinals, will select the Finals court and, will
throw out the pallino in the first frame, against the player that won by the 2nd most points...The other Finals
player will be the referee... Winner’s out, and play will continue as in the PreFinals…
5. Other Game Rules:
A. There will be a 10 minute halftime/intermission when any first player reaches a score of 16 (after that
frame is finished)...Announce “halftime”...Finals will begin 20 minutes after the last PreFinal game...
B. All players are entitled to one bathroom break before halftime/intermission and one bathroom
break after halftime/intermission...When it is your turn to play, NOT when you are referee...Please,
keep it short and sweet… :)
C. Please, no phone calls during play...Unless it is an absolute emergency…
D. Penalty for crossing the foul line with a bocce ball in your hand? That’s a dead ball…
E. A player may cross the Center Line when it’s their turn to play (lag/shoot), or witness a
measurement...Please, keep it short and sweet...John Redaelli, will settle any, and All Disputes...
F. You may use, and play with your own USBF “Open Rules” specified bocce balls…
Play Fair, Be A Good Sport and, A Great Referee!...Thank You, For Your Support!...and, Good Luck!
