Now that there's an official Shooting Championship, what about a Pointing one as well? Are there any plans? If not, let's make them here! What's the procedure to get such things formally adopted?

Some ideas, for comment, improvement, etc:

1. Rolling, half-lob and full-lob into a circle at various distances.
2. Spinning around an obstacle to get into the target circle.
3. Promoting a boule from outside the circle into the circle.
4. Promoting the coche, e.g. the coche is between 2 boules on the edge of the circle, you must point and promote the coche into the circle.
5. Can't think of one - over to you!

There should probably be an inner and outer circle, 25 and 50cm.

Problem: how do you ensure any sort of consistent surface?

I occasionally have to go to Heidelberg in Germany and Yorktown ( New York State ) USA.

Are there any boule/petanque clubs near to either of these locations that welcome's visiting players. If so details of locations and playing times appreciated.

Thanks

World Championship result - Final result:
The final France-Morocco 15-2.

Article 5 states:
«The game is played up to 13 points, though league and qualifying heats may be played to 11 points».

So where in the «official» rules does it say
the game may be played to 15 points?

I know of no sports (other sports?) that has rules such as pétanque has. And the FIPJP pretends that pétanque is a sport. A sport that should be included in the olympic games? That is a farce!
