Rafle

C.B.I. was founded in 1983 to Chiasso, Switzerland, thanks to the will of 13 National Federations. It was the heir of the F.B.I. that was born in 1950 between Italy and Switzerland. The first President was the Swiss Antonio Baggio. Today the leader is the Italian Romolo Rizzoli.

The game is played on rectangular field that are 4 meters wide and 26,5 meters long. They are well levelled out (pres­sed lime scale floor or synthetic material) and delimited by perimeter boards. Bowls and jack are made on synthetic material. The firsts must have a diameter between 106 mm and 107 mm and a weight from 900 to 920 grams. Even in this speciality the player has to draw up as more as possible his bowl to the jack or hit the opponent bowl (or the opponent jack) both with a raffa throw (grazing) and volo throw.
