5. Measure which team’s bocce is closest to the jack. In terms of scoring, measure the bocce that is closest to the jack, the team that collects points is the team whose ball is closest to the jack, the points are depending on the distance of the bocce from the jack including the “kissing” if it touches the jack at the end.

6. Keep switching courts.

Keep switching courts and play another frame until a team gets 12 points or until it reaches either 15 or 21 points.
