Competition Management, Reimagined

Petanque Life Team

Running a pétanque competition shouldn’t require a degree in spreadsheet engineering. Yet that’s exactly what many tournament directors face today.

Every format, one platform

Petanque Life supports all official FIPJP competition formats out of the box:

  • Triplettes, doublettes, and tête-à-tête
  • Round-robin, single elimination, and Swiss system
  • Poules with configurable advancement rules
  • Multi-phase tournaments (poules → knockout)

Live scoring from the terrain

Players and officials update scores directly from the mobile app. Spectators follow live — no more waiting for someone to update a whiteboard.

Automatic draw engine

The draw engine handles seeding, geographic separation, and club conflict avoidance. What used to take hours now takes seconds.

Rankings update instantly

Every match result feeds into both the federation ranking and the universal ELO system. Players see their ranking change in real time.

Competition management is just one of 18 feature domains in Petanque Life. Explore all features to see the full picture.
