The bowling lane has two sets of approach dots from the foul line back to the first set of approach dots is about 12 feet (3.66 m) and to the second set of approach dots is about 15 feet (4.57 m) (an additional 3 feet (0.91 m)). The lane is 41.5 inches (1.05 m) 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 pin deck, which begins about 2 feet in front of the head pin the middle of lane is a softer wood) or a synthetic material. About 15 feet (4.57 m) from the foul line are a set of guide arrows. This bowling lane is 60 feet (18.29 m) from the foul line to the head pin (1-pin). The sport of ten-pin bowling is performed on a straight, narrow surface known as a lane. This information is clarified by the World Tenpin Bowling Association in its "Statutes and Playing Rules". The regulations listed here are generally based around regulations set by the United States Bowling Congress - based on the original rules first codified by a USBC predecessor, the American Bowling Congress in 1895 - and the British Tenpin Bowling Association.These rules are followed by all certified leagues and events, such as tournaments. This consists of getting 12 strikes in a row in one game (one strike each in frames 1–9, and all three possible strikes in the tenth frame), and is also known as a perfect game. (Example: if a player knocks down 5 on their first ball and 3 on their second, the open frame would be worth 8 points.) The maximum score in tenpin bowling is 300. (Again, if a player gets a spare then follows it with 7 pins down on the first ball of the next frame, their value for the spare frame would be 10+7, or 17.) Open frames count the value of the pinfall in that frame only.

(For example, if a player got a strike then followed with a 7 then 2, their value for the strike frame would be 10+7+2, or 19.) A spare earns ten points plus the points for the next ball thrown. A strike earns ten points plus the points for the next two balls thrown. Effectively, there are three kinds of marks given in a score a strike (all ten down in the first ball), a spare (all ten down by the second ball), and an open (one or more missed pins still standing after the second ball). The tenth frame may be 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.īowling 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. The bowler is allowed 10 frames in which to knock down pins, with frames one (1) through nine (9) being composed of up to two rolls. In New England, "bowling" is usually referred to as "regular bowling", "ten-pin bowling" or "big-ball bowling", because of the "small-ball" used in five-pin bowling, candlepin and sometimes duckpin varieties, which each use much smaller and lighter bowling balls as compared to ten-pin bowling, without the need for finger holes in them. In Canada, the United States, United Kingdom and Australia, the game is commonly referred to as just "Bowling". Ten-pin bowling is a sport in which a player, or "bowler" rolls a bowling ball down a wooden or synthetic (polyurethane) lane with the objective of scoring points by knocking down as many pins as possible.
