Bocce ( ,[1][2] or ,[3] Italian: [ˈbɔttʃe]), sometimes anglicized as bocce ball,[4] bocci[5] or boccie,[1] is ♣ a ball sport belonging to the boules family.
Developed into its present form in Italy, it is closely related to British ♣ bowls and French pétanque, with a common ancestry from ancient games played in the Roman Empire.
Bocce is played around western, ♣ southern and southeastern Europe, as well as in overseas areas with historical Italian immigrant population, including Australia, North America, and ♣ South America, principally Argentina and the southern Brazilian state of Rio Grande do Sul.
Initially played just by the Italian immigrants, ♣ the game has slowly become more popular with their descendants and more broadly.
History [ edit ]
Having developed from games played ♣ in the Roman Empire, Bocce developed into its present form in Italy,[6] where it is called bocce, the plural of ♣ the Italian word boccia which means 'bowl' in the general sporting sense,[7] it spread around Europe and also in regions ♣ to which Italians have migrated.
First form of regulation was described in the book "Gioco delle bocchie" by Raffaele Bisteghi in ♣ 1753.
[8] In South America it is known as bochas, or bolas criollas ('Criollo balls') in Venezuela, and bocha in south ♣ Brazil.
The accessibility of bocce to people of all ages and abilities has seen it grow in popularity among Special Olympics ♣ programmes globally and it is now the third most played sport among Special Olympics athletes.[9]
Geographical spread [ edit ]
The sport ♣ is also very popular on the eastern side of the Adriatic, especially in Croatia, Serbia, Montenegro, and Bosnia and Herzegovina, ♣ where the sport is known in Serbo-Croatian as boćanje ('playing boće') or balote (colloquially also bućanje).
[10][11][12] In Slovenia the sport ♣ is known as balinanje[13] or colloquially 'playing boče', or bale (from Italian bocce and Venetian bałe, meaning 'balls').
[14] There are ♣ numerous bocce leagues in the United States.
Most have been founded by Italian Americans but contain members of all groups.
Rules and ♣ play [ edit ]
Bocce is traditionally played on a natural soil or asphalt court up to 27.
5 metres (90 ft) ♣ in length and 2.5 to 4 metres (8.2 to 13.1 ft) wide.
[15] While the court walls are traditionally made of ♣ wood or stone, many social leagues and Special Olympics programs now use inflatable 'Packabocce' PVC courts due to their portability ♣ and ease of storage.
[16][17] Bocce balls can be made of wood (traditional), metal,[15] baked clay, or various kinds of plastic.
Unlike ♣ lawn bowls, bocce balls are spherical and have no inbuilt bias.
A game can be conducted between two players, or two ♣ teams of two, three, or four.
A match is started by a randomly chosen side being given the opportunity to throw ♣ a smaller ball, the jack (called a boccino ('little bocce') or pallino ('bullet' or 'little ball') in Italian, depending on ♣ local custom), from one end of the court into a zone 5 metres (16 ft) in length, ending 2.5 metres ♣ (8.
2 ft) from the far end of the court.
If the first team misses twice, the other team is awarded the ♣ opportunity to place the jack anywhere they choose within the prescribed zone.
[6] Casual play is common in reasonably flat areas ♣ of parks and yards lacking a Bocce court, but players should agree to the minimum and maximum distance the jack ♣ may be thrown before play begins.
The side that first attempted to place the jack is given the opportunity to bowl ♣ first.
Once the first bowl has taken place, the other side has the opportunity to bowl.
From then on, the side which ♣ does not have the ball closest to the jack has a chance to bowl, up until one side or the ♣ other has used their four balls.
At that point, the other side bowls its remaining balls.
The object of the game is ♣ for a team to get as many of its balls as possible closer to the target ball (jack, boccino, pallino) ♣ than the opposing team.
The team with the closest ball to the jack is the only team that can score points ♣ in any frame.
The scoring team receives one point for each of their balls that is closer to the jack than ♣ the closest ball of the other team.
The length of a game varies by region but is typically from 7 to ♣ 13 points.[18][6]
Players are permitted to throw the ball in the air using an underarm action.
This is generally used to knock ♣ either the jack or another ball away to attain a more favorable position.
Tactics can get quite complex when players have ♣ sufficient control over the ball to throw or roll it accurately.
[6]Variants [ edit ]Bocce volo [ edit ]
A variation called ♣ bocce volo uses a metal ball, which is thrown overhand (palm down), after a run-up to the throwing line.
In that ♣ latter respect, it is similar to the French boules game jeu provençal also known as boule lyonnaise which is internationally ♣ called sport-boules.
Another French variant of the game is called pétanque, and (lacking the run-up) is more similar in some respects ♣ to traditional bocce.[19]Boccia [ edit ]

Another development, for persons with disabilities, is called boccia.
It is a shorter-range ♣ game, played with leather balls on an indoor, smooth surface.
Boccia was first introduced to the Paralympics at the 1984 New ♣ York/Stoke Mandeville Summer Games, and is one of the only two Paralympic sports that do not have an Olympic counterpart ♣ (the other being goalball).

É um especial de fim de ano criado para substituir o Réveillon do Faustão (1991–1997), sendo levado ao ar na 🍏 última noite do ano, após a novela das nove, caso a data caia entre Segunda e Sábado, ou o Fantástico, 🍏 caso seja um Domingo.
Durante grande parte de bulls bet exibição, o programa consistia em vários músicos brasileiros de diferentes estilos se 🍏 apresentando em um show em estúdio, com a plateia vestida de branco, que é pré-gravado e editado antes de ir 🍏 ao ar, devido ao fato de muitos artistas agendarem outros compromissos para a noite de réveillon.
Em 2021, ganhou um novo 🍏 formato, deixando de exibir shows gravados, passando a exibir uma playlist reunindo vários cantores da música brasileira.
Em 2022, foi novamente 🍏 reformulado, agora passando a apostar em um show ao vivo, direto de Copacabana.
Desde bulls bet estreia, a cada ano é produzido 🍏 um novo show, renovando a maioria dos cantores presentes.
