2nd boule played although 1st one made it

I must admit I would take a less formal view of things.

Wasn’t the problem that the player did not measure carefully who had the point?

It seems he genuinely believed he should throw.

It was only after a more careful look (measurement) that he discovered he had played out of turn.

I would think for a social game you would tolerate this carelessness.

For a formal game people should really be more careful.

But then in a formal game everything would be marked wouldn’t it?

Otherwise how would you prove that nothing moved when the player threw the second boule?

Perhaps there was an earth tremor?

I would hope this person has learnt that it is not appropriate to play unless some consensus has been reached about who is holding the point.
