How to Play Bocce
- Each end, both teams bowl toward the pallino. Only the team with the closest ball scores — enter their points for that end; the other team gets 0.
- Count 1 point per ball closer than the opponent’s nearest ball. If the closest balls are tied, that end is usually dead — no points for either team.
- This scorecard tracks cumulative points and highlights the current leader — it does not enforce a target score; agree whether you’re playing to 12, 13, or another total before you begin.
- The highest running total is highlighted as the current leader until a team reaches your agreed target score.
Tips & Strategy for playing Bocce
- Record only the scoring team’s points each end — one positive score per row keeps the card aligned with backyard and club rules.
- Agree up front on court size, ball count, whether ties cancel the end, and whether you are playing to 12, 13, or another target.

After all balls are thrown, only the team with the ball closest to the pallino (jack) scores. They earn 1 point for each of their balls that is closer to the pallino than the opponent’s closest ball.
