Bowling

In any of the variants of 10-pin bowling (including Duckpins or candlepins), each pin is worth one point.

However, when you are scoring a strike (all pins down on first ball) or spare (all pins down on 2nd ball), the scoring is more complex.

For a spare, the score is 10 plus the number of pins knocked down on the first ball of the next frame (so, for example, a spare followed by a 7 count would be 17)

For a strike, the score is 10 plus the number of pins knocked down on the next two balls thrown (so, for example, a strike followed by a 7 count then a completed spare would be 10+7+3 = 20). The most points that could be scored in a frame would be a strike followed by a strike, followed by another strike, 10+10+10 = 30.

This gives us the maximum possible bowling score of 300 (10 frames, maximum of 30 pins in each).

If a strike or spare is thrown in the 10th and final frame, the bowler immediately throws one (in the case of a spare) or two (for a strike) bonus balls, called "extra frames". These frames do not score on their own, they only serve to determine the extra pins for the 10th frame's mark.

The absolute minimum number of strikes needed to bowl a 700 series would be 14. There are several ways to do this: one such would be a 255-255-190 set, with each of the 255 games including a 7-bagger, and the 190 game having no strikes whatsoever.

pins haha. or sticks is common.

When discussing specific pins you call them by their number

7 8 9 10

4 5 6

2 3

1

this first pin (#1) is also called the 'head pin'

and some groupings of pins (that you left after your first ball) have nicknames, but I'd need to know which pins you are asking about.

Synthetic bowling lanes are made of compressed paper with a "lane" look inlay over the top that is then sealed. This provides a more consistent shot than traditional "wood" lanes. However a lot of traditionalist bowlers feel that bowling on "wood" lanes is the true showmanship of a bowler. The ability to change with the conditions, since each lane can very greatly from one to the other.

League schedules can be found on the United States Bowling Congress' website at www.bowl.com. They have schedules for 4 to 48 teams.

Also, there is league software available on the market, such as CDE Software's Bowling League Secretary, that have the schedules built in.

Well, some people do it, but most people would be disgusted at the idea of licking her anus. If she is free from disease, the practise is generally not dangerous, if that's what you are asking.

The Harlem Globetrotters are a basketball team that has been in existence since the 1920s, as an exhibition group rather than as a professional team.

Some of their highly intricate manuevers would be illegal in official play, but do demonstrate the extent to which the skills of the sport can be developed.

Not necessarily. If you are bowling scratch, which means just your total pin count versus your opponent's total pin count, then yes the highest score wins. However if you are bowling with handicap, extra pins to help make it an even match, then even though you may have bowled the higher score, if your opponent has enough pins of handicap, they may beat you. There is an example listed below.

Bob's Average is 210

Tim's Average is 180 but he he gets 27 pins of handicap per game

Using 90% of the difference between average and 210.

Bob's Scores: 212, 218, 225 = 655 series

Tim's Scores: 195, 192, 190 = 577 series

By these scratch scores, Bob has beaten Tim by 78 pins.

However if you add the handicap in (27 pins a game x 3 games), the results are different.

Bob's Scores: 212, 218, 225 = 655 series

Tim's Scores: 195, 192, 190 = 577 series + 81 pins = 658

Tim Now now beaten Bob by 3 pins.

That is when you alternate spares and strikes in a game, winding up with a score of 200. For example, you throw a strike in the odd number frames (1, 3, 5, 7, 9) and get a spare in the even number frames (2, 4, 6, 8, 10). If on the last ball of the 10th frame you throw a strike you will end up with a 200 game.

First Response:
The numbers are mostly just a serial code or model number not the weight.

Second Response:
If you are referring to house balls (rented by the alley) then yes, the number (6 through 16) indicates the weight of the bowling ball.

A Hammer bowling ball should be available for purchase at any retail store that specializes in bowling and bowling supplies. Another place would be inside the pro shop that many bowling alleys have inside.

Your score would be 150 in the 5th frame. There will not be a score in the 6th frame until your roll your next two balls down the alley. Say you were to roll 2 more strikes, you will get 30 points added to the 150 (10 for the strike in the 6th frame, and 10 for each of the two consecutive strikes, which is 20, giving you a total of 30).

Your score after 6 strikes in a row from the start of the game would be 140 in the 5th plus your next ball.

This used to be a very popular way to drill balls--one finger hole, one thumb hole. My grandfather was a very avid bowler, and he always drilled his balls with two holes. No one does it anymore, but it's still legal.

No. This is a plastic ball and is not designed to hook.

If you drop an apple from your right hand and a bowling ball from your left off the roof of the bowling alley, they will hit the parking lot at the same time.

Technically neither. A baseball is likely to be measud in ounces, since baseball is American, and the US has not formally adopted metric measurements. However, if the question is asking which would be the appropriate measurement - grams or kilograms - the answer would be grams. See the related question below.

This task is not as daunting as it sounds. Most houses have their own scheduling program. However if your house doesn't have it's own scheduling program, you can always find a freeware one to download. Barring those first two options, there is always the manual option available. Fear not, the good people at USBC (United States Bowling Congress), formerly ABC (American Bowling Congress), have already done all the work for you.

Some important things to remember. The number of weeks doesn't matter, you can simply pick the number you need, you do not have to use the whole sheet and like wise, if you need more, you simply start over. Most leagues will use the last week as their play off/roll off week. So on that week instead of using the schedule, you just have the first seed play the second, the third play the fourth, and so on.

Also from time to time, you might not be able to fill a whole team, leaving you with an odd number of teams (13 or 11 or 9). This is not a problem. You can do one of two things in this scenario. You can ask if there are members of any team who don't mind being split up and play them on different teams that are missing a bowler. Another solution (the more popular choice since most bowlers joined to bowl with a specific team), is just to create a blind team. The blind team would consist of all blind average scores (setup in your league rules) and every week, one team would be bowling against the blind team. See links section below for further information.

The bowling balls that hook the best are balls that have a reactive resin cover stock. Some balls that have a reactive cover stock are the storm virtual energy, virtual gravity. Another highly reactive ball is the mutant cell, another is the newly released invasion. Also people can make more hook on a ball by increasing their revolution rate. for Columbia 300 cool noise,sharpnoise,freeze,full swing,total bedlem,ebonite any of the magic series or the mission or evolve

In bowling there are 10 frames. If a strike is scored in the 10th frame, the bowler gets two "fill shots" (bonus shots sometimes incorrectly referred to as the 11th and 12th frames). If a spare is scored in the 10th frame, the bowler gets one fill shot.

You can buy bowling balls as light a 8 pounds, or as heavy as 16 pounds.

Most professional bowlers use 15- or 16-pound balls. Years ago, professionals almost exclusively used 16-pound balls, but with the introduction of reactive resin coverstock and computer-designed weight blocks. the ball drives through the pins harder and deflects off the pins less. Consequently, professionals found they achieved better results with a slightly lighter ball.

If your looking to invest in a fairly decent bowling ball, Your probably going to spend around $150, not including drilling, grips, and or thumb slug. However grips and thumb slug are optional. they make the ball easier to hold and more comforatable.

then 3 in next row 2 in the next and 1 in front

Edit: assuming you are referring to the 10-pin bowling, there are four in the back row, not five, as was previously answered by someone else.
Considering the 5 + 3 + 2 + 1 = 11, it is fairly clear that the pins are not set up in that war.
