Coming up this weekend is the 5th Annual Lexington Barbecue Festival Petanque Tournament at 15 Paul Beck Rd, Lexington, NC. This year, for the first time, we are playing the tournament the weekend before the Lexington Barbecue Festival instead of the same weekend as the festival.

Though scheduling required us to make the change this year, it will allow us to expand our tournament into a two-day affair for the first time. Qualifying play begins at 9:00 AM on Saturday morning, with the last of five qualifying rounds taking place at 9;00 AM on Sunday morning. Two single-elimination tournaments-- Concours and Consolante-- will conclude Sunday's play.

Pictured above are previous winners of the event. As you can see, we will have the possibility of a "three-peat" this year as the Zanesfield (Ohio) Petanque Club team of Mohamed Boulahoual and Justin Bo Johns tries to defend the title that they have held for the last two years. Will they be able to make it three in a row?
