Your opponent's ball flies narrowly past the pallino, leaving you a clear opening to become the bocce champion. You take a deep breath before releasing the ball; it sails over the grass. The look on your opponent's face is priceless. Just when it seems like you have too much momentum, the ball slows to a halt, less than an inch away from the coveted pallino. You take a moment to celebrate and then quickly compose yourself. You've won the round, but this tournament isn't over yet.
