World championships in the precision sport of pétanque are organized by the Fédération Internationale de Pétanque et Jeu Provençal (FIPJP). The first world championship for seniors was held in Spa Belgium in 1959. The FIPJP, founded in 1958, had 10 members at the time of the first World Cup; in October 2007, 75 national associations were members of the FIPJP. World championships for seniors, women and young people are held. At the World Cup, triplets are played in the so-called supreme discipline . Since 2000 world championships in precision shooting (Tir de précision) have been held. In 2015, a world championship in Tête a Tête took place for the first time .
Senior World Championships
The senior world championship in pétanque is not a men's world championship. Women, young people and Espoirs can also take part in it.
Until 1997, each participating country was allowed to use up to 2 teams of 3 players each (the host country and the country of the defending champion were allowed to compete with 3 teams).
From 1998 only 1 team per country (defending champion and host country, however, 2) was allowed. From now on a team consisted of 4 players.
In 1977 a German team took part in a World Pétanque Championship for the first time. Ebbi Toepfer, Karsten Köhler and Olaf Fingerhut came from Bad Godesberg and Freiburg. It was referred to as the team of the German Pétanque Association (DPV) at this and other world championships , but the association was only founded in 1984.
German successes
The best placements of a German team were three fifth places.
At the so far only World Cup in Germany in 1996 in Essen , it was Klaus Mohr, Tino Capin and Christian Hempel.
"In the preliminary round, the three Germans get through the large group poule (7:13 against Sweden, 13: 0 against Thailand, 13: 9 against Monaco, 13: 9 against Portugal, 13:11 against Djibouti, 13: 9 against Ireland, 13: 2 against Hungary and 2:13 against Tunisia) behind Tunisia in second place in the intermediate round.
A 13:10 against Great Britain and a 13: 4 against Canada are enough to reach the quarter-finals.
Against the eventual runner-up Tunisia there is a 5-13 defeat. The two placement games for 5th to 8th place were both won to the delight of the mostly German audience (13: 5 against Italy and 13:11 against Morocco). "
In 2006 in Grenoble, Sascha von Pless, Patrice Wolff, Sascha Koch and Kamel-Mohammed Bourouba only narrowly failed in the quarter-finals 10:13 against Italy.
The other games: Preliminary round: Against Andorra 13:10, against Hungary 13: 4, against Armenia 5:13, against Slovenia 13: 0, against Ivory Coast 13: 6, against Morocco 3:13. Then in the 2nd World Cup Round against Belgium 10:13 and against Portugal 13:12 and 13: 2. Round of 16 poultry: Tunisia 9:13, against Guinea 13:12 and against Madagascar 13:11. "
In 2007 the German team defended fifth place. Jannik Schaake ( Sandhofen ), Jan Garner ( Hanover ), Martin Kuball ( Hamburg ) and Patrick Abdelhak ( Constance ) competed for Germany . Since Jannik Schaake also took 5th place in precision shooting, 2007 was the DPV's most successful participation to date.
