Well the object of the game is to throw your boule as close to the jack as possible and let the game commence whether as a singles, doubles or teams of three, and that initial throw well both feet together and on the ground. The playing area or piste opened on Saturday 17th May 2008 in the Port and is the latest addition to the growing band of clubs throughout Scotland.

Petanque America Open - 14 & 15 November 2009 What The second ever truly Open International petanque Tournament in the USA. Where In Fernandina Beach, on beautiful Amelia Island, Florida. http://www.petanque-america-open.com/main.html
Extractions: updated What: The second ever truly Open International petanque Tournament in the USA. Where: In Fernandina Beach, on beautiful Amelia Island, Florida. Who: Teams of two players ( doubles ). Beginners, amateurs, advanced players and champions (real or self-styled) from all over will play together in one big competition . Men's, ladies or mixed teams. The more, the merrier. After two successful open tournaments in Miami Beach in 2003 and 2005, it was high time for a repeat. Petanque's popularity is steadily increasing in our country. But players are scattered over all 50 states and do not have many opportunities to meet, mingle and play. This is your chance! We will play along the waterfront, in downtown Fernandina Beach, a setting not unlike La Ciotat in the South of France, where petanque started in 1907

Extractions: Social Petanque on a Bounded Court Introduction These pages discuss a form of Petanque becoming very popular in the United States. It may be popular elsewhere, but I speak only from experience. "Social Petanque on a Bounded Court" differs to some extent from the formal international game originated in France, with its very strict rules. "Social Petanque on a Bounded Court" retains the element of strategy found in the formal international game, but makes it fun for everyone! Petanque is a game everyone can enjoy. Strength, height and age make little difference. Teams can be formed such that they are well balanced and all can enjoy. We were first introduced to this form of Petanque at Cypress Cove Resort . This is a fantastic family-oriented resort and players of all ages and skill levels are invited to play Petanque every morning!! The most distinct characteristic of the game described here is the playing surface. It is bounded by timber, has fixed positions to throw from, and has fixed markers to speed measurement of the initial toss of the cochonnet (or jack). These elements speed play and alleviate interference problems when several games are being played at the same time. For example, Cypress Cove Resort has six courts that are often busy; traditional "open area" rules would leave this many ongoing games open to gross interference.
