Derek Tops the Standings

Upon our return to the indoor petanque court at the Penobscot building (Room 427) we discovered there was a little water damage (they're drying the carpet out) - but we played anyway being the hearty souls we are.  The cords of the heaters provided some interesting obstacles included in the game playing.  See you soon!

After an eight game losing streak, I finally, on Friday, was able to break the run with a "magnificent" 13-9 victory.  Ahem...

Fred Tops the Winter Rankings

Game play at the Penobscot building's petanque piste has been going rather nicely.  The carpet takes a boule roll/bounce/shot very realistically, and there are plenty of twists, rises, curves in the carpet/floor to give us some interesting boule travel.

WINTER SESSION BEGINS AT PENOBSCOT BUILDING

Big thanks to Fred K. for securing us a nice, warm Winter location for petanque playing.  It is in the historical, Penobscot Building, in Suite 427.

Due to the dazzling carpet, we will be using a very shiny cochonnet

Pat Regains the Top Rank after a Brutal 13-0 Victory on Tuesday

In a brutal victory, Team Pat destroyed Team Jeff in the rare "Fanny" 13/0 game.  Not much to say on this except that I feel fortunate the "authentic" French pratice of being fannied was not implemented.

After carefully laying out his opponents, Pat A. has finally toppled the long time top ranking Abu from his lofty perch.  Not that it will be easy for him to remain there with so many other player's stats on his coat-tails.

Pat slides to Second Place in the Rankings

Excellent games being played - really tight scores.  We've had some visits:  Bob M. from North Carolina; along with local visits from Paul and Tom W. (Jason C's visits are becoming more regular so we won't consider him a guest any more - he's a regular!)

Straggling behind 8 points to Zero, Team Pat/Tim re-doubled their efforts (coincidentally when Abu joined Team Nick/Jeff) to win their games 13 to 11 and 13 to 7 (ouch).
