When all boules have been tossed, the game is over. The winning team gets one point for every boule of theirs which is closer to the cochonnet than the closest boule of their opponent. The winning team then draws a new throwing circle at this end of the playing field and throws the cochonnet towards where they stood previously. Thus, games are played alternately up and down the court. A match is played until one team reaches a predetermined score, generally fifteen points.
Bocce is the Italian version of Boule.
The cochonnet is called a pallino and must be tossed at least thirty five feet. There are four boules instead of three and players alternate turns. If a straight throw displaces balls, they are restored to their original place and the throw is disqualified. For a called throw, the player must announce which ball he intends to hit. If he does, the results remain.
