Updated Initial Rules (24 May 2006)

Initial Rules as at 24 May 2006.

1. Choose initial thrower of the jack by coin, start an end as normal with normal bocce rules (first to 13 etc.),
2. While playing an end, the player who threw the jack proposes a new rule / amendment. This is debated with possible amendments by the end of the end. More than one rule can be added per end, but a minimum of one per end must be added.
3. The new rule is voted on, and imposed immediately. If the vote is split, then a coin decides. If the proposer wins a coin toss, then the rule is accepted and the proposer gets an extra point. If the proposer loses the toss, then rule is not accepted and the proposer loses a point.
4. Go to step 2.

Winning: by score or by paradox.

• The winner is the first to 13.
• If the rules are changed so that further play is impossible, or if the legality of a move cannot be determined with finality, or if a move appears equally legal and illegal, then the first player unable to complete a turn is the winner. This rule takes precedence over every other rule determining the winner.
