Extractions: Note: 4 players teams are not valid for competitions Toss a coin to choose the starting team Any player on this team chooses the starting by drawing a circle of abt. 1' 6" This player throws the wooden jack between 22ft (8 m) and 30ft (10 m) away (no closer than 1' 8" (50cm) from any obstacle. The thrower's feet must stay inside the circle until the jack has reached the ground. Any player from this team then throws the first boule. He tries to place it as near as possible to the jack. His feet must again remain inside the circle. A player on the second team comes into the circle. He tries to throw his boule even nearer to the jack or knock away the other team's leading boule. The boule nearest to the jack leads. It's up to the team not leading to throw until his own team gets a leading boule. Then it's the opposing team's turn to throw. When a team has no boules left the other team throws their remaining boules and tries to place them as close as possible to the jack.

Pétanque a uniquely French "street game" was the pièce de résistance. In Pétanque, players attempt to throw a heavy ball so it arrives closer to the target smaller ball than one's opponent. Its basic rules are similar to Italian Bocci and it is usually played on a sandy field, not a commonplace feature in a downtown Brooklyn neighborhood, hence the need for the front-end loader and lots of shovels. Old time players mustered up some decent competitions while also showing the novices how the game should be played.
