Carolina Pétanque
Pétanque in the News!
Asheville recently hosted Atlanta for a friendly two-day competition at Rendezvous restaurant. After 64 games in two days, Atlanta narrowly won the trophy.
We look forward to the rematch and the chance to bring the trophy back to Asheville!
In addition to building relationships, we were able to spread the love of pétanque through the media who showed up to cover part of the event!

The Amelia Island Open is one of those tournaments that is a must each year, whether you are new to the game or have been playing for years. It is a chance to get together with others who love to play and enjoy the social aspect of the game as well as enjoy the sights and atmosphere of the island.
This year's Amelia Island Open started on Friday with the Ladies' Compact Tournament, featuring 32 doubles teams. Each of their 4 qualifying rounds was limited to 6 ends of play, 30 minutes, or 13 points. After qualifying, the top 8 teams continued to the quarter finals. Congratulations to all that participated!
Final results from Friday play:
Gold: Picotte/Cote
Silver: Linh/Lion
Bronze: Wien/Currie
4th: Keating/Creasy
Saturday kicked off the Open with 179 teams from across the globe play in 5 qualifying matches. This ranked the players for Sunday play. The first game on Sunday was an additional seeding round, allowing a chance for the top 32 teams to fight for the 16 top spots and the ability to win it all.
Again, congratulations to all, and especially those from Carolina Pétanque!
