Follow this link for the Rules for Welsh Cup for Club. This will be updated when required.

Ideally, the Welsh Club Champions shall be decided upon the total number of points won. However, should there be a tie on the number of wins then Article 22 detailed in the published Rules European Cup For Clubs, shall be used, which states that:

The following formula will be applied to decide the results:

The number of Match Points, if two or more teams are tied, then:
Game Points between the tied teams.
Points Difference between the tied teams.
Points Difference between all the teams in the group.

All results must be relayed to the WPA Executive using the official Registration/Score Sheet.

European Cup for Clubs

Although the Welsh Cup for Clubs is an inter-club competition, there is a European aspect. The WPA will ask the winning Club if they would like to participate in the European Cup for Clubs, held in France at the end of the year. This invitation is NOT a compulsory requirement for the winning Club and may be declined.

The European Cup for Clubs is organised by the Confédération Européenne de Pétanque (CEP). Click here to find out more.
