mint Posted October 9, 2011 Share Posted October 9, 2011 Does anyone know what the rule is when 2 boules thrown by opposing teams are equidistant to the cochonet? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mint Posted October 9, 2011 Author Share Posted October 9, 2011 So, then Joe, which team gets to throw the next boule? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I must have been writing my last post when you posted.Got it now, if there are boules left, the team that throws the last boule throws again. Otherwise, if only one team has boules left, that team keeps throwing until no boules are left. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mint Posted October 9, 2011 Author Share Posted October 9, 2011 Wools, I wish you wouldn't tie me in knots!I don't mean the last boule as in the final boule and there aren't any boules left. I mean the last boule as in the one that's just been thrown but there are other people with boules left.At least I think that's what I meant?[8-)] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pachapapa Posted October 9, 2011 Share Posted October 9, 2011 Never played boules sober so its all greek to me; I've read Rule 29 3 times and still none the wiser.Seems completely illogical but the rules were written by a **** so not surprising.[:)]Article 29 – Boules Equidistant from the JackIf the two boules closest to the jack belong to opposing teams and are equidistant from it, the following 3 cases can apply:(a) If neither team have boules to play the end is declared void and the jack is thrown by the team winning the previous end.(b) If only one team has boules left to play, it plays them and scores as many points as it has boules closer to the jack than the nearest opponent’s boule.(c) If both teams have boules to play, the team which played the last boule plays again, then the other team, and so on alternately until the point has been won by one of them. When only one team has boules left, they play them as described in the above paragraph.If, after completion of the end, no boules remain within the boundary of the playing area, the end is void.

NormanH Posted October 10, 2011 Share Posted October 10, 2011 The characteristic falling minor third at the beginning of the melody is also found in much early baroque music ...[6] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
