Friday starts with the ladies

 

Sue Wien & Tina Currie

















The 2023 version of the Amelia Island Open petanque tournament began on Friday afternoon with a "Compact" tournament for women.

There were 32 teams participating. Each of the four qualifying games was limited to six ends of play, or 30 minutes, or 13 points--whichever came first. 

After qualifying, using the SWISS HOTEL scoring system (wins, head-to-head if only two teams tied, point differential, point quotient), the top eight teams proceeded to the quarterfinals for elimination play.

Rankings after qualifying:

1. Picotte/Cote (Canada)

2. Linh/Lion

3. Keating/Creasy

4. Wien/Currie (Carolina Petanque!)

5. Jones/Sweeney (Carolina Petanque!)

6. Woodard/Keeton

7. Morris/O'Roark

8. Gammage/Anderson

 

Final results after elimination play:

Gold: Picotte/Cote

Silver: Linh/Lion

Bronze:  Wien/Currie

4th: Keating/Creasy
