Upper Hutt Pétanque Club hosted the Champion of Champion Singles tournament on Sunday 23rd March. Seven teams entered from clubs in the Wellington region. Seven rounds of games were played with each team sitting out for one round, four games before lunch and three after. The winners were in doubt until the last game was finished, a nail biter. However, Upper Hutt (Derek Worsley) prevailed with six wins, followed by Naenae (Michael Rocks), also with six wins, followed by Otaki (Shirley MacDonald) with three wins. The differential did not contribute to the ranking. Being a Round Robin format meant that the winner is dictated simply by who beat whom when they played each other.
