Tony from Ontario just sent me some photos from his enormously successful tournaments he held in Toronto and Kitchener.Keep in mind that Petanque is very popular in Asia - especially in Thailand, Japan, China, Laos and Vietnam - (The SEA Games [Southeast Asian Games] include petanque among the competitive sports)
Tony told me there were about 15 teams at each of the events - and he's just started!
Philippe Boets of Petanque America had recently sent multiple sets of boules to Tony (just in time!) I am glad that they have all been put to good use so soon.
...And I am thankful for Tony's organization of these events. Located in Detroit, Michigan - it is a relatively short drive to Kitchener and Toronto. We'll definitely need to run an International Tournament very soon.
