BOCCE IN ONE LINE
Bocce is an Italian target boules game played on flat courts with large balls and a smaller target ball called the pallino. Players or teams earn points by rolling their balls closer to the pallino than their opponent's closest ball.
TEN-PIN BOWLING IN ONE LINE
Ten-pin bowling is a target sport where players roll a heavy ball down a wooden or synthetic lane toward ten stationary pins. The objective is to knock down all pins in as few rolls as possible across ten scoring frames.
