What we do
What we do
We play casual games Sunday, Tuesday, and Thursday at the Lamorinda Pétanque Club located 480 St Marys Road, Lafayette, California. We usually start at 1 pm on Tuesday and Thursday. We play all day Sunday and organize a Sunday Club Mix Hours 2-4 pm as a chance to meet everybody.
Once a month we organize a friendly intraclub tournament called Funday, It is played on regulation lanes, consisting of three 55-minute timed games using the Swiss Hotel System and standard FPUSA rules. The top two teams play a final game. To ensure an even number of teams and that everyone plays, some teams may need to be triplettes, others doublettes. Time and dates are in the Lamorinda calendar.
We hold regular shooting/pointing/strategy clinics, details are in the Lamorinda calendar.
Superseding the above regular activities, the 21 lanes of the playing field are reserved for regional and national tournaments that are listed in the Lamorinda Calendar and the Northern California Calendar .
