⚫ Pétanque

Free pétanque scoring app that knows the rules

Pétanque is scored one end at a time. When every boule has been thrown, only the team closest to the jack scores, one point for each of its boules nearer than the other team’s best. Tap that number for the team that won the end and the app keeps the total to 13, shows who throws the jack next and counts the ends.

What is built in
  • Tap +1 to +6 for the team that won the end

How to keep score

How pétanque scoring works

When both teams have thrown all their boules, the team with the boule closest to the jack scores one point for each of its boules nearer than the opponents’ closest. Only one team scores per end. Tap +1 to +6 for that team.
