Manasota Petanque in Sarasota, FL

Gilles Canesse as Tournament Director

Louisiana Mike

Gilles Canesse and Manasota Petanque Club hosted a social panache tournament on Sunday March 6, 2016, in Sarasota, FL. Attending from Carolina Petanque: Danny, Sue, JC (Jean-Claude), Patricia, Shirley, and Gary. It was an abbreviated format with players drawing at random for partners and opponents in each of three rounds of play. There was no playoff-- the players were ranked by wins then point differential to determine winners. Carolina did not have a player in the top three rankings, but several of us finished with two wins against one loss, so it mostly came down to point differentials.

It was good fun with a great group of players at one of the most beautiful places to play anywhere around.

Thanks for having us, Manasota.

It looks as though Shirley and I missed a nice Sunday afternoon at Miller Park. While we vacationed in central Florida, they played in North Carolina.
