NPC Club Triples Championship 2025

How it works:

  • The Club Triples Championship competition is only open to members of Newtongrange Petanque Club.
  • It will be played on Saturday 19th of April 2025. Registration will be 09:15, with games commencing at 09:30. Teams will draw a number at random, and this will be their number for the competition.
  • Competition format: 7 teams entered, so the format will be round robin, 6 matches each – 7 rounds in total.
  • Rankings will be based on;
    a) Number of wins, then
    b) Points difference (PD), then
    c) Number of points (F)
    If still tied, then the result of the tied teams’ match will decide.
  • Teams will be comprised of 3 or 4 players. The Committee may make amendments to the regulations, which they deem necessary to ensure the smooth running of the competition.
  • There is a £2.50 per player entry fee into the competition, and teams must register with the match secretary.
  • Teams are free to name themselves as they see fit - however, must be accepted by the match secretary.
  • Teams must inform the match secretary of any player changes 48 hours before the competition begins.
  • One substitution is allowed per match, and only between ends. Your opponents must be informed that you are about to make a sub, prior to doing so.
  • The format for the competition will follow the SPA timed rules (section 9), but with the exception of timed game play, which will be 40 minutes, plus one end.
  • In the event of a draw at the end of match play, an extra end will be played. Players will only have 1 boule in the extra end. The coche must be returned to its last known position, if knocked out.
  • Players should ensure that the position of the jack is marked at all times.
  • A trophy will be awarded to the winners.
  • The results of the competition and holder of the trophy shall be recorded and kept by the club/match secretary.
