Petanque America OPEN 2009

I talked to Philippe from Petanque America today, to get more Info on the upcoming "Petanque America Tournament" for November 2009.

Nothing is carved in Stone yet since this is only in the developing stages, much planning and organizing in the next couple of months. He mention that He should have more details some time in March.

But for now the Plans are for a Doubles Tournament, Mid November 2009 in Amelia Island ( NE Florida) by Jacksonville. http://www.ameliaisland.com/ , He is expecting over 100 Teams from all over the US and Abroad.

All I can say is that it Sounds like a lot of FUN in a Beautiful setting . Just like in 2003 and 2005 Philippe knows how to Organize a Large Tournament and get all the logistics together for a common GOAL ( Play Petanque and Have a Good Time).

Visit his Blog for some interesting Info http://petanqueamericaopen.blogspot.com/ and leave a comment, let Him know what You think.

SE Regional Triples - RESULTS -

This First time ever Melee Triples was a success!. Players of different levels got together to Play Petanque on Saturday morning.
On a personal note I would like to report that John Wildner was very happy to Win his first FPUSA Medal, He started playing over a year ago and now He's playing like a champ and this is what's all about with the Melee Tournament.
John Roland, Boca 2000 Club President was missed all weekend due to that he was sick and You know that He had to be feeling really bad to NOT Play on these two Tournaments. But He now feels much Better.
Good Competition with quality Teams was what the Sunday SE Regional Triples was all about.
We all had plenty of Fun, it's always great to meet with our Friends and Play our Favorite Game.
