Issue 53 of Planète Boules has just been published...
2024, a year placed under the sign of the sport with this summer, the greatest planetary event which will be held in Paris in France namely the Olympic Games: of the J.O. of the Centenary in Paris after those of 1924. Unfortunately, boules will be absent from this great celebration of Olympism, as its bid as a demonstration sport for this Olympiad was not accepted. The most optimistic will say that it's only a postponement, and then in December the 51st World Championships for Men's Triplettes and Precision Shooting will take place in Dijon (21). No Olympic Games for our sport, but a very active year on and off the field. In this February issue, we take you on a trip to South America, to Chile to be precise, where the 1st Pan-American Games were held last December. As for the next World Games, we're heading for China and the land of pandas (in Chengdu) in 2025. Greetings from The World Games 2025 Chengdu !

Game rules and fanciful interpretations
In view of the repeated appearance of "application measures" in our playing rules which have often constituted genuine rule changes - such as the one relating to the position of the jack, for which a correction had to be announced on the spot at the world championships in Santa Susanna - the FIPJP International Umpire and Rules Commission referred the matter to the Executive Committee FIPJP, which examined the issue at its meeting in Bangkok on 23th of November.
First of all, two reminders:
- No “interpretation” of the rules of the game may have the effect of modifying their application.
- Any changes to the rules of the game are only made every four years, so as not to unnecessarily upset the players with incessant and not necessarily relevant changes. If the International Umpire Commission deems it necessary, the proposals will be examined by the Executive Committee for application on January 1st, 2025...
