Come out to the third annual Petanque in the Gainesville Senior Games on Saturday, September 28th. We feature it as a Panache' Doublette where each participant plays with a team-mate but accumulate points as an individual. Each game is played with a new partner, for 4 games.

If you win your game you score 1 point for the win, a positive addition of the point deferential in the game against your opponents and a positive addition of the total number of your points scored. The losers receive zero for the loss, subtraction of the points deferential and only a positive number for the total number of points they scored. And so forth through the next 3 games with a new partner. At the end of the tournament, individual points are tallied and first, second and third places are acknowledged.

Such a format is a beginner friendly introduction to tournaments yet challenging to more experienced players too. Each player has to work together in the game and contribute their best effort.

.Deadline for early registration is August 30th. This tournament will be held at Gainesville Petanque's terrain at San Felasco City Park with on-site registration starting at nine. Cost is $10 to the Gainesville Sports Commission and an additional $5 for each event. Questions? Ask at gainesvillepetanque@gmail.com or GainesvilleSportsCommission.com
