Question 17
Dead coche
Team A shot and the coche went dead. Team A show that they have 3 boule left
in hand. Team B thought they were out of boule as they had no boule in their hand and it was agreed
Team A had scored 3.
3 points were put on the scoreboard and Team A drew the circle ready to play the next end when Team
B suddenly realises that they did have 1 boule left and it was off the end of the piste and hadn’t
been thrown. Team B then took the 3 points off the scoreboard as they called it a dead end as
technically they did have a boule in hand.
Were Team B correct or was the fact that 3 had been declared and the circle drawn ready for the
next end mean that the score should have stayed the same and Team A should have carried on and
thrown the coche?
