[UPDATE: The Saturday, March 31 melee tournament in Brooklyn hosted by NYPC is cancelled due to freakishly normal Spring temperature -- and the threat of heavy rain.] Our preliminary tournament schedule is up on our website. I've taken the trouble to combine our schedule with NYPC's into one big list. We've been working together to make sure we have the best petanque tournament scene in the country and our ranking system will apply to all local tournaments, with some changes and details to come.
