A double is required to finish the match. Bust rules applies - i.e. if a player should make a higher score than is required, then he/she reverts to the score at the start of that throw.

Petanque or Boules:

Teams to consist of one lady and one gentleman.

The game is played with six metal Petanque boules (balls). Each player throws three boules.

The Competition in the first rounds is on a sudden death knockout basis.

The Quarter/Semi Finals and the Final itself will be decided by best of three ends.

Boules will be thrown from a 50cm circle once the start team is decided by the toss of a coin.

The boule, when thrown, should rest comfortably in the hand with the fingers and thumb as close together as possible and with the palm facing the ground.

The first thrower throws the Cochonnet (Jack) between 6m and 10m away.

He/She then throws the first boule trying to place it close to the Cochonnet.

A player in the other team then tries to throw his boule nearer to the Cochonnet, or knock away the leading boule. The boule nearest the Cochonnet leads.

Then it is up to a player in the team not leading to throw until his team gets a leading boule and so on.

When a team has no more boules the players of the other team throw theirs and try to place them as close as possible to the Cochonnet.

When both teams have no more boules the points are counted. The winning team gets as many points as it has boules nearer the Cochonnet than the best of the losing team.

The first team to reach 13 points is the winner of the End. In the first rounds the winner will go on to the next round (see 3 above.)

The Rules are taken from those of the British Petanque Association.
