Ultimate Pétanque Tournament Checklist
(A work in progress)
This is not a guide on how to run a tournament, but a resource of To Do Lists and Materials Lists for a basic pétanque tournament.
Here in Texas we are excited about our new Pétanque for the Planet waste reduction and recycling effort. Instead of creating so much waste, we try to make sure all the serving materials can be cleaned and reused at the next event. The details of the program are HERE.
We encourage anyone organizing a tournament to try to reduce unnecessary waste. To improve your chances of success we suggest you inform participants in advance about how they can help when they sign up for the event.
Feel free to distribute the Pétanque for the Planet link to participants when they register for your event.
In particular, when you have pot luck meals, you can remind participants to:
- Bring their own serving utensils to safely serve the dishes they contribute.
- Provide metal utensils for cutting thing like pate and cheese.
- Use and return the wine glasses.
- Clean their plates and use the compost and recycling bins
A final helpful tips we have learned here in Texas, is that you can reduce congestion around the food tables by locating the drinks table in a separate area.
