PETANQUE RULES1 Teams are made up of one player (face-to-face), two players (doublette) or three players (triplette). Each player uses two boules when playing in triplette teams, and three boules when playing face-to-face or in doublette teams. 2 The playing area can be type of ground: concrete, gravel, pebbles, sand, mud, grass, rocks, or a mix of the previous. The best dimensions of a petanque course are 15 metres long x 4 metres wide. 3 Toss a coin in the air to decide which is the first team to play. The toss winner chooses the play course and throws the jack (or cochonnet). 4 The aim of the game is placing your boules as close to the jack as posssible. And the more boules you place closer to the jack than the opponent, the more points you get. Every winning boule counts one point. The team which first gets 13 points wins the match.

5 A match consists of an indefinite number of rounds, or “ends”. An end is a chunk of match where the two opposing teams play all their boules. The teams play as many ends as they need until one side scores 13 points. 6 Draw a circle on the ground to stand in and throw the jack forwards. When the jack is thrown it must stop somewhere on the playing course between 6 and 10 metres far from the circle. (We take measures from the nearest edge of the throwing circle to the nearest edge/belly of the jack). 7 The team that won the toss sends a player to the circle to play the first boule (trying to get as close to the jack as posssible). The opposing team then attempts to throw a boule closer to the jack than the first thrower. These two first boules of an end are played alternatively by the two teams. From then on, the turn to play is for the team which is losing in that end (=the team whose boule is the least near to the jack). That is, it is “losers’s turn”.

8 Once a new lead is established it is “losers’s turn” : Losers continue to throw a boule/boules until they regain the lead by placing a winning boule (the closest one to the jack) or until they run out of boules. Do not play alternative throws. Respect “losers’s turn”. 9 In the case two opponent boules are at an equal distance from the jack, the point is declared “void”, and now the turn is for the last team which played a boule. If this happens once all boules from both teams have been played, it is the end which is declared void, and the jack in the next end is thrown by the winner of the previous end. 10 If a plawer gets to hit the jack out of the legal limits of the playing course, either accidentaly or on purpose, their team will score as many points as unplayed boules they still keep in hands. That end is over then, and the scoring team will start a new end. However, if this happens and no team has boules left in hands to play, the end is void (and the jack in the next end is thrown by the winner of the previous end).

11 When all boules have been thrown the score is recorded. The team whose boule/boules is/are closest to the jack wins the end. But how many points do they score? They score as many points as boules they have placed closer to the jack than the closest boule of the opponent.12 The recounting of points, once the end is finished, is touchy time: The boules on the ground can not be touched, lifted, moved or kicked away before an agreement on the score is reached by the two teams. 13 The winner then draws a circle around the jack on the ground, turns back to face the previous departure circle and starts again a new end by throwing the jack forwards.
