3, 2, 1 Series
2025-12-06 09:30 - 16:30 (Europe/London) | Caerleon RFC PC, The Clubhouse, Broadway, Caerleon, Newport, Wales, NP18 1AY, United Kingdom
The 3-2-1 series returns! Each competition starts and finishes with your team playing triples – in between your team splits to play parallel doubles and singles games.

As with last year, we are running the 3-2-1 as a competition series. You can enter a single comp or – if you are up for a challenge – you can enter all 3 events. Teams entering more than one event accumulate points towards a season ranking: can your mini-squad take the top spot?

Around 70% of the entry fee for each event will go back as prizes on the day, with 15% going into the accumulator pot. If we have 12 teams at each event this means 1st, 2nd, and 3rd prizes of £60, £45and £30 on the day, with £36 going into the accumulator pot.

Each competition is limited to 12 teams of 3 players*. This is an Open event so no licence is needed. The coffee shop should be open – and they serve good food too – but feel free to bring lunch and flask: the bar will open at 12pm.

Registration is 9.15 to 9.30. We will play timed games, and should be wrapped up by 4.30pm.

Entry is £21 per team for each competition, and is secured by pre-pay only.

To register, email caerleon.petanque@yahoo.co.uk – we will send bank info and rules by return
*teams entering more than one event can include a 4th player for the series – but only 3 can play on the day: but please note rules for teams of 4 which will be sent out in response to email enquiries.
