Bocci to Live. &lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Bocci (or Bocce, or Boccie) ball is a game of the gods. It requires athletic ability, mental stamina, and creative teamwork. Bocci ball takes minutes to learn, but a lifetime to master. Not to mention that bocci ball is an absolute blast! Start playing now!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;center&gt;&lt;script type="text/javascript"&gt;&lt;!--google_ad_client = "pub-2182005168554499";/* 300x250, created 2/4/10, Bocci, ATF */google_ad_slot = "3610972891";google_ad_width = 300;google_ad_height = 250;//--&gt;&lt;/script&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;script src="http://pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/show_ads.js" type="text/javascript"&gt;&lt;/script&gt;&lt;/center&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;h2&gt;How do I Play Bocci Ball?&lt;/h2&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Bocci ball is played between two teams of one or more players. The object of bocci ball is to bowl your bocci balls as close as possible to a small ball called the &lt;b&gt;jack&lt;/b&gt;. To start a game, one team throws the &lt;b&gt;jack&lt;/b&gt; from one end of a court to the other. The team that throws the jack is the team that bowls first. Then, the other team bowls. From then on, the team who does &lt;b&gt;not&lt;/b&gt; have the ball closest to the jack bowls. Play continues until all 4 balls of each team have been thrown. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;h2&gt;Counting Points in Bocci Ball&lt;/h2&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The team with the closest ball to the jack is the &lt;b&gt;only&lt;/b&gt; team that scores. For each ball that is closer to the jack than the opponent's closest ball, the scoring team receives one point. To win a match of bocci ball, a team must earn 10 points.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;h2&gt;Where can I Play Bocci Ball?&lt;/h2&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Anywhere! Play at the beach, at a park, or in space! However, competitive bocci ball matches are played in bocci ball courts; these courts are 60 to 100 feet long about 10 feet wide, and made of clay, asphalt, or fine sand.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;h2&gt;Where can I buy a Bocci Ball Set?&lt;/h2&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Smashing question! I recommend you check out &lt;a target="_blank"  href="http://www.amazon.com/Park-BB-109-Bocce-Pro-Set/dp/B0009PVUW8?ie=UTF8&amp;tag=tennispro-20&amp;link_code=btl&amp;camp=213689&amp;creative=392969"&gt;Park &amp;amp; Sun's Bocce Pro Set&lt;/a&gt;&lt;img src="http://www.assoc-amazon.com/e/ir?t=tennispro-20&amp;l=btl&amp;camp=213689&amp;creative=392969&amp;o=1&amp;a=B0009PVUW8" width="1" height="1" border="0" alt="" style="border:none !important; margin:0px !important; padding: 0px !important" /&gt;.
