Then came the drawing of the team positions. Although a couple of players had to cancel, three teams flew in unexpectedly from New York, and we started with 72 doubles exactly.15 states were represented: California, Connecticut, Georgia, Florida, Maine, Massachussets, Michigan, Maine, New Jersey, New Mexico, New York, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Texas and Virgina.
Plus two teams from Germany, two from Colombia, Madagascar, Mali and... France.
An absolute 'first' in the history of American petanque!
Of the 144 players, 33 were (and still are) ladies.

How could you forget the teams from Texas!
Heh - indeed, how could you forget us?!?!

We had a blast folks - we're looking forward to seeing many of you in the future!

Apologies!!
Just added the Lone Star state (with many petanque stars). Which means we had 15 states, not 14!
