"Ten-pin bowling Ten-pin bowling is a sport in which a player (called a ""bowler"") rolls a bowling ball down a wood or synthetic (polyurethane) lane and towards ten pins positioned at the end of the lane. The objective is to score the highest pinfall by knocking down as many pins as possible. Two finger holes and sometimes a thumb hole are drilled into a traditional bowling ball, and weights vary considerably to make the sport playable for all ages. For young children who like bowling, a ramp is often used. Generally, the heavier the ball, the more pins that will"
"lighter, and without holes, so that they may be held in the palm of the bowler's hand. Most bowling alleys provide balls for patrons to use within the establishment, often referred to as ""house balls."" Key properties of ten-pin bowling balls include surface friction, porosity, and mass distribution, which affect the motion of the ball as it rolls. These properties are varied to control how much a ball will slide through the oily surface of a typical bowling lane, and how easily a ball will change direction when the roll is combined with rotational motion. Friction and porosity are variables"
"was created. Ten-pin bowling is a modern form of bowling that became organized in 1895 in New York City. Each session, each team in the league faces one other team. In most bowling leagues each team plays three games per scheduled match. After the first week of the league, the average for each player is set, and the average can go up or down after each subsequent session as more games are bowled. Though there are ""scratch"" leagues where only actual score counts, most leagues use the bowler averages to determine team and/or individual handicaps. The handicap is the difference"
"British Tenpin Bowling Association. These rules are followed by all certified leagues and events, such as tournaments. This information is clarified by the World Tenpin Bowling Association in its ""Statutes and Playing Rules"". The sport of ten-pin bowling is performed on a straight, narrow surface known as a lane. This bowling lane is from the foul line to the head pin (1-pin). About from the foul line are a set of guide arrows. The lane is wide and normally consists of 39 wooden boards (commonly rock maple in the ""heads"", which is the first 15 feet of lane, and in"

The tenth frame is composed of up to three rolls: the bonus roll(s) following a strike or spare in the tenth (sometimes referred to as the eleventh and twelfth frames) are fill ball(s) used only to calculate the score of the mark rolled in the tenth. If neither a strike nor a spare is achieved in the tenth frame, no bonus roll is awarded. Bowling has a unique scoring system which keeps track not only of the current pinfall in a frame, but also strikes and spares which allow for the value of subsequent pinfall."
"1–2–4–10 and 1–2–8–10. Modern variants include the 1-2-4-6-10 and 1-3-4-6-7, where the bowler only picked a single pin out as opposed to the normal two (picked 3 pin for right-handers, 2 pin for left-handers). With the use of six-pound balls and/or very slow ball speeds, other splits not normally seen can be left due to that light-weight ball either deflecting into the gutter or stopping on the pin deck after contacting the pins. An example of this is the 6-7-8-9-10. Since the pins are set up as an equilateral triangle, identically spaced splits can occur on different parts of the"
"2020 Summer Olympics in Tokyo. A game of ten-pin bowling is divided into ten rounds (called ""frames""). In a frame, each player is given two opportunities to knock down the skittle targets (called ""pins""). The player rolls the first ball at the pins. If the first ball knocks down all ten pins, it is called a ""strike"" and the frame is completed. When pins are left standing after the first ball, those that are knocked down are counted and then removed. Then the player rolls a second ball and if all the remaining pins are knocked down, it is called"

The maximum score in a game is 300. This is scored by bowling 12 strikes: one in each box, and a strike with both bonus balls in the 10th box. In this way, each box will score 30 points (see above: scoring: strike). This scoring system, except for the scoring sheet's appearance and the graphic symbols used to record strikes, spares and 10-boxes, is identical to that of duckpins,"

Although, if there is a time limit and if time runs out before the end of ten frames bowling stops, and the person with the highest pinfall wins the game. In general, one point is scored for each pin that is knocked over. So if a"

Perfect game (bowling) A perfect game is the highest score possible in a game of bowling, achieved by rolling a strike during every frame.

The purpose of the hook is to give the ball a better angle at the 1-3 pocket (right-handers) or 1-2 pocket (left-handers.) When a ball is rolled straight, hitting the pocket must be precise. By hooking the ball, the ball will hit the pins with more force, producing better carry - especially on the 5-pin during a strike ball. Straight roll - even when it hits the pocket, will tend to leave a tap, such as the 5-pin on a light hit,"

If all three balls are needed to knock all the pins down, the score for that frame is simply ten, and known in New England as a ten-box. If more than one player is playing on the same lane at the same time, bowlers will typically roll two complete boxes before yielding the lane to the next bowler.

For this reason (and similar to candlepin bowling), the bowler is allowed three rolls per frame (as opposed to the two rolls per frame in ten-pin bowling). Duckpin bowling has rules similar to ten-pin bowling. In a 10-frame game, bowlers try to knock down pins in the fewest rolls per frame. Bowlers have three balls per frame, instead of two in ten-pin bowling, to knock over a set of 10 pins. If a bowler knocks down all 10 pins with their first roll in a frame, it is scored as a"
