History:
Charter members Swiss and Italian Federations
founded the Confédération
Bouliste Internationale (CBI) on April 4,
1982 to meet a need recognized by a growing
number of bocce enthusiasts in Europe. The
second independent world bocce organization,
CBI implements revised guidelines of play
- doing away with “volo” rules
using metal balls. Moreover, CBI imposes
a different playing style punto, raffa,
volo which incorporated similar techniques
and used composition balls.
CBI held its first world singles championship
in 1983 in Switzerland, with 13 countries
participating in. Singles and team tournaments
alternated since 1983, as CBI’s main
annual event. In addition to these annual
events, CBI has also sanctioned four more
world tournaments since 1983.
