Ball's Game, the yearly pétanque tournament in Genval

The Ball's Game is the yearly pétanque tournament of Brasserie Chez Clément, in Genval. A full day, teams of three players, pistes marked out in the brasserie's garden and on its terrace, and a table laid from breakfast through to dinner.

The format stays the same from one edition to the next: triplettes, group stage in the morning, final rounds in the afternoon, prize giving at the end of the day over a drink. The tournament is open to casual players and club players alike, with no level required. Families are welcome, children have room beside the pistes, and the car park opposite the brasserie stays free.

Registration covers breakfast, the midday barbecue, the afternoon snack, dinner and a gift. It is done online and in advance, as the number of teams is limited.

This page follows the tournament from one year to the next: the gallery keeps the memory of the 2025 edition, while the registration details above always concern the current one.
