比賽 Competition

球賽在一個12.5米乘6米平滑的木地或膠地上進行，比賽最終目的是在規定的區域內，把自己的球(六個紅或藍色)盡量投近目標球(白色球) 。每局比賽雙方完成所有投球後，裁判會判決結果，最接近目標球的一方便獲得分數。

比賽分三大項：個人賽、雙人賽及團體賽。在個人賽中，一場比賽分四局進行，每個運動員每局投六個球。雙人賽也是四局，每個運動員每局投三個球(每方共六球)。團體賽分六局進行，每隊三名運動員，各投兩球(每隊每局共投六球)。每局比賽均有時間限制，每方的時間從裁判員向計時員示意該方發球起開始計算，直至所發的球停止滾動或滾出邊線為止。

The game is played on a flat and smooth court (12.5m x 6m) with hard wooden or plastic surface. The goal is to throw the boccia balls (six red or blue balls) as close as possible to a white target ball, which is called the ‘jack’. Scores will be determined by the referee after all balls are thrown by both sides. The side with the ball closest to the jack will score one point.

There are three competition categories: Individual, Pairs and Team. In the Individual event, the match consists of four ends and each athlete will throw six balls per end. There are also four ends in the Pair event and each athlete will throw three balls per end (six balls for one side). The Team event will play six ends, two balls per athlete per end (six balls for one side). Time limit applies to all categories. Each side shall play within the time limit set for each end. The timekeeper will start timing when the referee signals the side to start playing until the moment the ball comes to a standstill or crosses the court boundaries.
