This is an attempt at making a good faq for the game of petanque. All questions that are directly related to the game and it's basic rules should be included here. The questions and answers are meant for beginners - so please keep it easy to understand for non-players.

Article 24 – Throwing Boules Contrary to the Rules.
Any boule thrown contrary to the rules is dead and, if marked, everything it has moved in its travel is put back in place. The same applies to any boule played from a circle other than that from which the jack was thrown.
However, the opponent may play the advantage rule and declare it to be valid. In this case, the boule pointed or shot is valid and everything it has displaced remains in its place.
My thoughts are if you were playing people who are pedantic and difficult if you drop the boule it has been played.
If you were standing in the circle it is a valid throw if you were not standing in the circle the boule is dead.
Clearly are if you were playing people who are this pedantic and difficult you may choose not to play with them in future.
At what stage
Article 37 – Incorrect Behaviour
The player who is guilty of incorrect conduct, or worse, showing violence towards an official, an Umpire, another player or a spectator incurs one or several of the following penalties, depending on the seriousness of the offence:
(1) Exclusion from the competition.
(2) Withdrawal of licence.
(3) Confiscation or restitution of rewards and prizes.
The penalty imposed on the guilty player can also be imposed on his or her team-mates.
Penalties (1) and (2) are imposed by the Umpire.
Penalty (3) is imposed by the Organising Committee which, within 48 hours, sends a report with the rewards and prizes retained to the Association’s Organisation which will decide their destination.
In all cases, the Chairman of the Committee for the Association concerned will make the final decision.
Would apply may depend on the situation and possibly if the umpire has the capacity to stand up to the individuals who are behaving poorly.
Realistically umpires are often average people as well and may sometimes struggle to display leadership under difficult circumstances.
I am personally aware of instances of racism and abuse that have not been acted on in the local league competition.
From my casual observations the league competition where I live is not growing.
My observations are only casual because I no longer play in formal competitions because of the common and excessive occurrence of puerile and poor behaviour.
As I understand locally tactics such as sledging and time wasting are considered important enough that some coaches spend time actually teaching how to do this.
Are sledging and time wasting good for petanque?
I suppose if they are being taught as a skill they must be.
