Bowling

there's a lot of jobs to do at the bowling ally there's a gourd's front decksmen's bar tenders and that's all i can think of so far......

If you rotate the ball while delivering it with your hand reaching about the 12 o'clock position, it's considered topping the ball. When delivering the ball, the hand should stay behind the ball and not in front.

It certainly can, as seen in this video:

The heaviest ball you can throw is 16 pounds its illegal to throw anything over that.

It depends on the policy of the bowling center.

it is made of a kind of metal.

The youngest person to ever bowl a 800 series for 3 games was my friend Korey Riechard who is 8 years old from Jackson,MI.

For casual bowlers, the most popular weight is 8 lbs. for women and 12 lbs. for men. This is in part due to the fact that house balls rarely fit like a glove, forcing the bowler to clench the ball slightly in order to hold onto it during the swing.

League and professional bowlers prefer a heavier ball, because it packs a greater wallop when it strikes the pins. And a properly-fitted ball actually feels lighter, since muscle power isn't being wasted by gripping the ball.

While many men still use a 16 lb. ball (the heaviest available), a number of pros and league bowlers prefer 15 lbs., which increases accuracy and ball speed without sacrificing hitting power (thanks to today's high-tech ball surfaces, which cut through the oil and generate a tremendous hook). For the same reason, most female pros and serious amateurs use either a 14 or 15 lb. ball.

There are nine possibilities for the first ball.

Since there would then be eight balls left, there are eight possibilities for the second ball for each of the nine first balls. 9 x 8 = 72 possible combinations, so far.

Then there would be seven possible third balls for each of those combinations, etc.

Doing the calculation all the way through, you get the formula:

9 x 8 x 7 x 6 x 5 x 4 x 3 x 2 x 1 = 362,880 possible combinations.

This kind of a math problem is called a COMBINATION, and the formula used to calculate it is called a FACTORIAL. The abbreviation for a factorial is the bang (exclamation point), so another way to write the above equation would be:

9! = 362,880.

No, unless the Pin Monkey was having a bad day. Then the ball return would have been a problem. Ball returns were manual back in the 1895s. Automatic Ball Returns didn't come around until the Early-Mid 20th Century.

Up to 5. More than 5 its No Ball

In the more traditional bowling style, the ball is gripped with the hand slightly to one side rather than directly under it. The ball gets its spin as the bowler releases it with his hand and arm going more or less straight up. The ball takes a path something like a "J". Crankers exaggerate the spin with a twist of the wrist over the top of the ball as they release. Their ball follows an arc down the lane, often being released near the gutter on one side, going across the lane to the edge of the gutter on the other side, and then hooking back toward the middle. It's very dramatic to watch. Quite frankly, either style can be effective. Control and consistency are the key.

A split is where there is two or more pins with a one pin gap between. When one pin is left after the first throw, it is not considered a split.

ya... just all be in the same lane, if you rented 2 lanes then have three in 1 lane and two in the 2nd lane!!

6 i think

"Are there any.."

Yes, in some cities. For example, here is a place that has bowling and much, much more in Abuja, Nigeria (which is in Africa):

Bowling can be an individual or team sport. In teams the players attempt to knock down more pins than the other team. Levels of playing are anywhere from amateur to professional.

No. Not always

The spelling is one word "tenpin" for a pin used in a "ten-pin bowling" game (aka tenpins).

I believe what your referring to is "Scotch Doubles" which is a system of doubles play where the two bowlers alternate shots throughout the game.

The only time one of the pair ever completes a frame on his/her own is when scoring a strike.

Bowling leagues like to have an even number of teams. If a league is short one team, then a "blind team" is added to make an even number of teams. Different leagues have different rules on how to handle the scores for the team bowling against the blind team.
