Playing
|
First Team
(initially chosen by toss of a coin) |
·
chooses spot from which to play
· throws the pig (small target ball)
· all players should throw from the same spot!
(on
gravel the player would mark a circle from which to play)
|
Person
who threw the pig then throws one boule towards the pig |
|
Persons
from opposing team then throw boules UNTIL they get one closer
to the pig |
|
First team
then throw UNTIL they have the closest boule |
|
When a
team has exhausted its boules (but still do not have the closest boule)
the other team completes throwing their boules |
|
Points are scored by counting the number of boules closer to the pig than the
opponents’ nearest |
|
Points
from each end are added to the previous total until one team exceed the
target number |
· note the target number is chosen by the Chairman for each
round
· for
early rounds the target is 5 requiring at least two ends to be played
· for
later rounds, this number may be increased to
7 or
9 or more (time and weather
permitting) -
please check before beginning
game
|
Person
with the boule closest to the pig becomes pig thrower for the next end |
Important rule

All
decisions of the Chairman are final....!!!! |
