What constitues a throw:
That the boule leaves the players hand and hits the ground. Or hits something else...
Fortunately you may throw in any way you feel like. High lobs, straight shots, or as slow as a turle. The rules do not care. The important thing is to win, and if you manage to get real close to the pig every time - stick to that method.
Most players prefer to throw the boule at least a few meteres, but there will always be the ones that always roll it from the first centimetre. Both metods are allowed.
On the sequence of play:
The teams can decide who plays. Any order goes, as long as the ruels are obeyed. That is, the sequence of playing the boules in respect to the teams.
Cheers,
stig

What constitutes a throw? Among our members are those who believing that rolling their boules bowls-style is a legitimate action.
Also in doubles play must one player deliver all his boules before his playing partner throws his first or may they alternate at will.
