This is a question about what follows from a player inadvertently picking up his own boules before the end is complete (art 22 of the FPUSA version of the rules).
Team B has has no more boules to play. Team A has two points on the ground in front of the jack, perhaps three depending on a measurement. Team A (doubles) player has one more boule to play. He walks from the circle to the cochonnet and, apparently forgetting his last remaining boule next to the throwing circle, picks up the two points his team has to better consider if his team has the third point.
Immediately, his teammate and the other team tell him the two boules he picked up are now dead and must be thrown out of the game. He is puzzled, but then upon seeing that he has not played his last boule, reluctantly accepts their judgement.
He then wants to play his remaining boule.
The question now is, what happens next? Is the end voided (assuming an umpire would cite FPUSA art 34-Penalties and disqualify the boule about to be thrown)? Or is the player of Team A allowed to play his next boule and the end scored based on what is on the ground then (for possibly two points)?
Those in favor of nullifying the end say the remaining boule cannot be played now because the situation around the cochonnet has changed and might favor the remaining boule making at least one point.
Those who say the remaining boule should be played say the player has, in effect, already suffered a penalty for an accidental act, and should be allowed to play his last boule.
