Abstract: A bocce ball measurement device includes a support surface for being supported over a pallino ball and a generally cylindrical wall for supporting the support surface over the pallino ball. The generally cylindrical wall has an inside diameter greater than a diameter of the pallino ball for encircling the pallino ball without touching it when placed around the pallino ball. A housing is coupled with the support surface at a center of the support surface. A retractable measurement ribbon is stowable within the housing. A first end of the housing can provide an index for reading a measurement on the retractable measurement ribbon. The bocce ball measurement device further includes a biasing mechanism coupled with the retractable measurement ribbon for biasing the retractable measurement ribbon into a retracted orientation within the housing so that the retractable measurement ribbon can be retracted and stowed within the housing.
