Our Relay for Life Team is planning to hold a Bunco Tournament for 32 people on April 16th. (Room limits us to that number.)
I have played in a group for years but have never attended a Tournament. If anyone out there has a set of rules that you wouldn't mind sharing ASAP, it would be GREATLY appreciated!!!!
I signed up on here just to ask for help, so I am very unfamiliar with the website.
My email address is shughes@kdmc.org
THANKS IN ADVANCE FOR YOUR HELP!!!!!


Hello Sharon and Welcome! I have never been to a tournament so I can't help you with that but we just go by these rules:
ShirleyBunco Rules
Game Overview
Strictly speaking, Bunco is a game of dice, played in rounds. Players take turns rolling the dice and trying to accumulate as many points as possible to win each round. The game is played at tables of four in competing teams of two.
Players score points by rolling three dice and trying to match there target number for that round. They get a point for each die that rolls the number, and if all three roll the number they score 21 points. BUNCO! is called when rolling 3 of a kind of the target number. Rolling BUNCO is worth 21 points, but the player has to yell it out to get credit for it.
They also score 5 points for rolling three of a kind (trip) of any other number. They get to keep rolling as long as they score one or more points with each roll. Once they fail to score they pass the dice to their left and the opposing team gets a chance to score.
During each round the teams at the First Table try to score 21 points. The first team to score 21 points wins the round and play stops. At all other tables play stops when the First Table stops and the team with the highest score at each table wins the round.
At the end of the round players change seats, the winners at each of the other tables stays at the table, and the losers move to the next table. Players also switch partners at the end of the round, so you never play with the same partner twice in a row.
During play, players track the number of rounds they win and lose as a team, and the number of Buncos scored individually, on their personal scorecard. At the end of the night wins/losses and Buncos are tallied and prizes awarded.
There are six rounds in each set of Bunco. The First Table controls the pace of play by starting each round and ending each round with a ring of the bell. The scorekeeper at each table is the first to roll.
Player Scoring
Players keep track of their scores on their own BUNCO Score Card.
When a player rolls a BUNCO, that player should make a “B” on their target number on score card. Only the player that actually rolled the BUNCO gets credit. The player's teammate get’s a “W” on there score card.
When a team wins a round, both players record a "W" on their target number on there score card. When a team loses a round, they each record an "L" on the line.
At the end of the BUNCO session, all the players total their wins & losses on their scorecards for a chance at the prizes.
Tiebreakers during a Round
If both teams have a tied score at the end of a round, they participate in a roll-off. They are each allowed to roll the dice again for one session to accumulate additional points. Player #1 starts off rolling first. This player will continue to roll and accumulate points as long as they are successfully rolling the number of that round. Each player is given a session to roll and accumulate points for their team to end the tie.
If at the end of this session one team is now in the lead, the roll-off ends. The team with the highest score is deemed winner. If needed, additional roll-off sessions are repeated until the tie is broken.
Traveling
"Traveling" occurs whenever a Bunco is rolled. The current custodian of the Fuzzy Die throws the die at the person who called BUNCO.
The player holding the “Fuzzy Die” at the end of the game wins the prize!
