The won/lost records don't begin to tell the whole story. Since there was no pre-seeding for the draw, some teams were luckier than others regarding the strength of their opponents. Our game scores were 11-2, 11-2, 11-1, 6-11, and 11-0. [Saturday games were shortened to eleven points.] Contrast that with Terry and Sue who lost at least one game 10-11 (maybe two?) and had to play the Canadian Team of Laulhe/St. Croix (who won the Championship and were reigning Champions of Canada!). Or with Steve and Trey who had to play Juan Garcia/Mo Coulibally. And Steve/Trey won! Juan/Mo then went on to beat Claudy Weibel and Jean-Pierre Subrenat on Sunday. Claudy is current world record holder of petanque shooting and a former world champion. Jean-Pierre was this year's team USA captain at the world finals in Turkey!
