MyPetanque is jointly owned by Jo Treweek and Peter Wells.
MyPetanque was launced in 2015 so Players could Register for petanque events online. It was then broadened in scope to allow tournament Results to be displayed, and a Rankings system was also introduced for Victorian Players licenced with Petanque Federation Australia.
In 2019 we reviewed the use of the Rankings section and have decided for the moment to leave this section unaltered.
We wish to thank Petanque Federation Australia for allowing the use of its Player database in the operation of this site.
