Unfortunately, since #1 exists, we have to apply #2.

When I played competitive Bridge, I was amazed by the rules of the game. I seems to cover and apply to every possible situations. The same could be said to most professional sports.

I guess Petanque is not part of those sports.

The FIPJP should work harder to see that there are much less possible interpretations of the rules as written.


Nevertheless, Petanque is much more enjoyable when "It usually comes down to just good sportsmanship in leisure play."
