2/2

Matches will be played to the following point levels:

1. The initial matches, the first three rounds of the loser bracket and the first round of the winnersbracket will play to 9 points or 15 minutes, whichever comes first. Team only needs to win by 1

point and, in the case of a tie, frames will continue until one team is ahead (i.e. sudden death).

2. Subsequent matches, until the championship match, will be played to 15 points or 20 minutes,whichever comes first. Team only needs to win by 1 point and, in the case of a tie, frames will

continue until one team is ahead (i.e. sudden death).

3. The championship match will be played to 21 points with no time limit. The winning team mustwin by 2 points. If the match is within 2 points at the end of regulation play, frames will continue

until one team is ahead by at least 2 points.

Measurements:

All measurements should be made from the inside dimensions of the bocce ball to the inside dimension ofthe pallino. Only an official and one representative from each team may be present for the measurement.

Players:

Teams will consist of 2 players. If a team cannot field 2 players, the game is a forfeit. A team may make

one substitution per game. Substitutions may only be made between frames.

Players do not need to alternate throws. Consecutive or alternating throws by teammates shall be at theoption of the players.

Courts:

We will have four courts in use for this tournament. They are designated as follows:

1. Court A: Main court (stone surface)2. Court B: Auxiliary court (grass surface) closet to the main court A3. Court C: Auxiliary court (grass surface) to the north of auxiliary court B4. Court D: Auxiliary court (grass surface) to the north of auxiliary court C

Due to the number of matches that we need to complete to be able to finish on time, we will utilize all

courts on an as-needed basis. This means that not all teams will get an opportunity to play on the maincourt A and some teams may have to play several/consecutive matches on one court.

We will do what we can to balance the match play across courts and we appreciate the cooperation of all

the teams in this matter. Given appropriate time, we will try to play final matches of each bracket and, forsure, the championship match(es) on the main court.

Conduct and Courtesy:

5. Team capos are responsible for the actions of their players.6. If a player is standing in the playing half of the court while the opposing team requests that the

player step aside, that request should be honored.

7. Only participating players should be on the court while the game is in progress. Spectators are notallowed on the courts at anytime during regulation play.

8. Courtesy and respect should be displayed at all times. Profanity and un-sportsman-like conduct isnot permitted. Violations may result in a warning by a ruling official to the player and teamcaptain. Severe violations or a violation after a warning may result in the players expulsion by the

ruling official from the game or match.

9. All trash, pop-tops, cigarette butts, etc. are to be discarded in appropriate containers.
