[edit] Merge

Pitchnut should be merged into this article. The only discernable difference is that pitchnut has no walls but a gutter instead, while French-Canadian pichenotte has walled sides making it possible to do rebound shots. Clearly the former is nothing but a derivative of the latter, including the name. — SMcCandlish [talk] [cont] ‹(-¿-)› 21:19, 20 April 2007 (UTC)

Pitchnut does have walls, but it also differs greatly from pichenotte in that it has posts or screws. The combination of the gutters and the posts makes the game much more difficult to play than pichenotte. While pichenotte is mass-produced, the only pitchnut boards that I've ever seen are hand-made. I'm trying to discover the origins of this game, and combining it with pichenotte would trivialize the differences. — Arrowmoose 21:19, 25 April 2007 (UTC)

Sounds plausible to me. — SMcCandlish [talk] [cont] ‹(-¿-)› 04:33, 4 June 2007 (UTC)
