15/04/06 I have just received a copy of the PNZ Player Code of Behaviour You can download a PDF copy here (or find the plain text at the bottom of this page) ....stout fellows, as far as my club goes we flog offenders after every game.
In the spirit of fun and enjoyment, I wondered if the committee would consider adding the attached to their Code.

Denunciations:
I publicly denounce Peter Dennet for acting contrary to Rule 3 of the PNZ Player Code of Behaviour in that he used "abusive language" to his partner who was having accuracy problems during a recent competition.
Gerald Bryan
I publicly denounce myself, Richard Lawson, John Moss and Peter Dennett for acting contrary to Rule 6 of the PNZ Player Code of behaviour in that they drank alcohol during games at Petanque Hataitai solely for the purpose of enjoyment.
Gerald Bryan
I publicly denounce myself, Tina and Roger, for wearing intimidating earmuffs during the MPC Triples and thereby contravening rules 2 and 5 of the PNZ Player Code of Behaviour: "Play the game in a sporting manner". "Observe the correct dress of the day". -Tom van B.
At least John got is right: "Rule 5. Observe the correct dress of the day"
With the fierce competitions and the delightful social aspect of the game, may I ask how Whanganui will consider their new membership of the WPA in the light of the new regulations.
Is all this in the interest of the game? I think not. Why not spend time promoting the game and bringing it to new players rather than tweaking the details.
Get real PNZ and play the game...beaurocracy is another sport entirely.

This Code applies to all members of Petanque New Zealand affiliated clubs.
During all games players are expected to:
1. Play and abide by the rules of the game as instructed by the Tournament Organising Committee and Umpires of the day.
2. Play the game in a sporting manner.
3. Not use or abusive language, particularly to other players, officials and spectators.
4. Accept without argument the decisions of the Umpire(s).
5. Observe the correct dress of the day.
6. Not drink alcohol during games, and to excess for the duration of the competition (i.e. arriving under the influence at the start of the day is unacceptable).
7. Not smoke during games, and on the terrain at any time (i.e. even when spectating).
8. Ensure that supporters and/or family or friends do not encroach onto the terrain or allow any pets or children to do so during play. Any player who is found to be in breach of this code of behaviour will be considered to be guilty of improper behaviour and liable to the penalties in Articles 37, 38, and 39 of the rules of the game.
