===Scoring=== 
[[File:Petanque scoring example 1 point.png|thumb|left|Team Red has the boule closest to the jack and the second-closest boule belongs to Team Blue. Red scores one point. Blue scores nothing.]]
[[File:Petanque scoring example 2 points.png|thumb|right|Team Red has two boules closer than Team Blue's closest boule. Red scores two points. Blue scores nothing.]]

An end is complete when both teams have played all of their boules, or when the jack is knocked out of play (goes "dead").

If an end is complete with the jack still in play ("live"), then the team with the boule nearest to it scores one point for each of its boules that is closer than the opposing team's nearest boule. However, neither team scores any points if their closest boules are the same distance from the jack.

If the jack is dead at the completion of an end, and if only one team still has boules to play, then that team scores one point for each unused boule. Otherwise, neither team scores.
