The team with more balls closer to the white ball scores the most points.\u00a0<span style=\"text-decoration: underline;text-decoration-color: #1D7488; text-underline-offset: 4px;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www2.ifsport.is\/?yfirf=10&amp;aid=89\">Rules and description of boccia.<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n\n<h4 data-block-key=\"jfkhv\"><strong>Table tennis<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p data-block-key=\"c4pdc\">Table tennis has been practiced at the Sports Association for the Disabled since its founding.
