A record 28 teams had entered, only 4 short of the maximum we can accommodate. Almost half the players were from our own club but there were also entrants from other other WPA clubs as well as unaffiliated WPA members, Big League players and players of no fixed abode. After a brief welcome from Monkstone President, Mike Jones, and explanation of the format and other play related matters from Organiser, Bernard Adshead, play got underway.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The format, in the morning, was a round-robin of 7 groups of 4 after which all 28 players were ranked based on their performance. In the afternoon there were 4 elimination competitions. The Gold Competition consisted of the top 8 ranked teams from the morning, Silver the next 8, Bronze the next 8 and finally the Tin with the remaining 4 teams. All groups, except Tin who started with a Semi Final, played Quarter Finals, Semi Finals &amp; Finals.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Cash prizes were awarded to the Winners &amp; Runners Up in each competition.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-5072\" src=\"https:\/\/www.monkstonepetanque.org.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Play-in-Progress.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1666\" height=\"1385\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.monkstonepetanque.org.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Play-in-Progress.jpg 1666w, https:\/\/www.monkstonepetanque.org.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Play-in-Progress-300x249.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.monkstonepetanque.org.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Play-in-Progress-1024x851.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.monkstonepetanque.org.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Play-in-Progress-768x638.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.monkstonepetanque.org.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Play-in-Progress-1536x1277.jpg 1536w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1666px) 100vw, 1666px\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>Play in Full Swing<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">RESULTS<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Apologies to the teams that had 3 players but the system will only accept 2 names for doubles competition. the following teams had a third player:<\/p>\n<p>Group 5 &#8211;
