The Green and Gold Tournament is open to all club members (including Associate Members) for no charge. Doubles teams of one veteran player and one less experienced player will face friendly competition in two matches in the morning, followed by concours and consolante matches in the afternoon.<\/p>\n
On their registration forms, players will identify their level of experience and skill, and on the morning of the tournament, teams of one veteran and one less experienced club member will be randomly drawn out of a hat to form teams for the day.<\/p>\n
For new players, this is a great chance to gain tournament experience; for the veterans, the day will allow a chance to share what you know about strategy and technique.<\/p>\n

Each spring the petanque season begins with the EPC League, which takes place from April to June. At stake is the Chris Guitton Trophy, awarded to the outstanding doubles team for the season. <\/span>Typically 12-14 teams of two players take part, and the action is intense.<\/p>\n Over the course of seven weeks, teams compete in a round-robin series of matches at the Edmonds Petanque terrains. Each match consists of two games. <\/span>The winner of each game earns one point, and a third point is awarded to the team scoring the larger total number of points in the match. For instance, if teams split the two games they play against each other, each earns a point for their win; and the team whose total points are greater takes the a second point. In the case of a tie, each team earns 1.5 points. <\/span><\/p>\n At the end of the League, the team with the most points is declared the champion. To top off the League season, in June, all teams participate in a one-day elimination tournament. <\/span>There is nothing like a good League match to rouse the competitive spirit! <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_button button_url=”https:\/\/www.edmondspetanqueclub.org\/index.php\/the-epc-league\/?et_fb=1&PageSpeed=off” url_new_window=”on” button_text=”League Description” disabled_on=”off|off|off” _builder_version=”4.27.6″ _module_preset=”default” hover_enabled=”0″ global_colors_info=”{}” sticky_enabled=”0″][\/et_pb_button][et_pb_cta title=”League Description” _builder_version=”4.27.6″ _module_preset=”default” background_color=”#00438A” link_option_url=”https:\/\/www.edmondspetanqueclub.org\/index.php\/the-epc-league\/?et_fb=1&PageSpeed=off” hover_enabled=”0″ global_colors_info=”{}” sticky_enabled=”0″ disabled_on=”on|on|on” disabled=”on”]<\/p>\n Learn more about how the league runs here.<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_cta][et_pb_text content_tablet=”<\/p>\n
