Sports To-do: edit  Here are some tasks you can do: Requests: Average (sports) (crucial article explaining the concept, nomenclature, math; redir to it from Average (sport); use Batting average as starting point for ideas) Cleanup: Sport governing body (this should-be-major article is in a shameful state) Field hockey (History section needs sources and accurate information - very vague at the moment.) Other: Assess: newly added and existing articles, maybe nominate some good B-class articles for GA; independently assess some as A-class, regardless of GA status. Split: Cross-training into Cross-training and Cross-training (business); Hockey puck into Puck (sports) (w/ Puck (sport) redir) and Hockey puck (and update Puck DAB page); Swimming into Swimming (general activity) and Swimming (sport) (eventually create subarticles for varieties) Categorize: Gather all (major/olympic) sports to be part of this project Photographs for pages listed in Wikipedia:Requested pictures/Society#Sport and referenced categories.

Official rules of Pétanque in English

Very good article, but it leaves out the one crucial piece of information that I came here to find: how scores are computed. We bought a boule set with completely useless instructions, and have devised scoring rules that work for us, but it would be nice to know what the real rules are. Obviously, I can't add this to the article myself...

--Lars Marius Garshol, 2006-07-05

The information was there, but I've clarified it for you (I hope). In theory it's possible for one team to score six points in a round -- that's as rare as a hole-in-one at golf, however.

Yes, now I get it. However, I can see nothing there that says how you could get six points. If you have three boules and get one point for each one that is closer than the opponent's closest... Anyway, thanks a lot of clearing this up.

--Lars Marius Garshol, 2006-07-08

Look at the bullet points under the Rules heading. In most configurations of the game, each team has six boules.
