Without further ado, here is the official podium of July 9 :

  • 🥇 The Crocodiles.
  • 🥈 The Three Quiches.

For this last competition in July, the top spots were decided by merit! Thus, after several fierce games, many well-placed tiles and a few "Fanny" (it must be said all the same), four teams of 3 bowlers stood out from the crowd.

Finally, we find ourselves on the podium :

  • 🥇 The Good, the Bad and the Ugly.
