Translate Petanque Scoring and Etiquette for a Complete Newcomer

You are joining a local petanque club for the first time and the scoring and etiquette are being explained too fast to follow. Translate the core rules into plain English: how points are scored per end, what counts as closest to the cochonnet, and when a measurement is called. Then cover the basic etiquette: who throws first, how to stand while others are throwing, and what to say or do when a close measurement is disputed. Keep it to what a genuine beginner needs for one afternoon, not the full competition rulebook.
