Registration
To play in a competition you need to register your team. You can usually do this in advance. Sometimes you can leave registration to the day of play. Check the cut off date carefully. Most competitions have a moderate registration fee of around $20 p.p. most of which goes towards providing cash and kind prizes for the different categories of players.All competitions are registered via the My Petanque website www.mypetanque.com
Images are pages from the My Petanque website showing the Home page, the page where you register your team and also the page where you can see which other teams have registered so you can check out who you may be playing against.

This needs to be written. It will be mainly text though I can forsee some diagrams/photos might be useful to show how teams progress from the start through elimination to a winning place. It will cover subjects like mens, womens, mixed, singles, doubles, triples, juniors, age brackets, opens, qualifying, principal, consolante, social, elimination, poules, swiss, buckholtz, ranking etc. It may have to be a work in progress as there's a lot to learn before it can be written.
