BIG League

The Boules in Gwent League

Constitution and Rules of Engagement

Following the 2023 AGM, the league has made minor changes to its constitution.

The latest version of the constitution can be downloaded by clicking here: Constitution.

Clarification of promotion/relegation

The number of promotion places is fixed as a guaranteed minimum of 2, but may be extended if the overall number of teams in each division changes at the start of the following season. There are no fixed places for relegation, even though there may be references during the season to teams “fighting relegation”.  This will be determined at the start of the following season as part of the annual review of the league structure.


The official rules of the game of pétanque are published by the Fédération Internationale de Pétanque et Jeu Provençal.
