COMPETITION RULES  

For anyone who hasn't played this competition before the basic rules are ;

• Teams consist of 3 players but multiple substitutes are allowed to cover for holidays etc.

• In the 1st stage teams are drawn into leagues of 4 so everyone should play 3 games in this stage.

• The top 16 will progress to the next stage. (i.e. the top in each league plus the best runners up to add up to 16)

• There is also a plate competition for any teams failing to make the top 16 - entry is optional - teams entering play a further 3 games in a random draw.

• The 2nd stage for the top 16 consists of 4 further leagues of 4.

• The top of each league from the 2nd stage goes through to the semi final.

• The basic rules of Petanque are displayed on the notice board next to the Bond Court terrain.

• The basic and full rules of the game can also be printed from the Northern Petanque website (link top left).

• Boules are available for use at lunchtimes (no charge) from Centre Fillings which is in Bond Court.

• Games are arranged by agreement between the 2 opponents usually at lunchtimes (games normally take between 20 and 40 minutes)

• Bond Court is usually available on a 1st come 1st served basis but with the increasing entry we introduced a booking system in 2003 to try to avoid conflicts.
