3. To Explain
Bowling is a target sport and recreational activity in which a player rolls
a ball toward pins (in pin bowling) or another target (in target bowling). The
term bowling usually refers to ten-pin bowling, though in the United
Kingdom and Commonwealth countries bowling could also refer to lawn bowls.
In pin bowling, the goal is to knock over pins on a long playing surface known as a lane.
A strike is achieved when all the pins are knocked down on the first roll, and a spare is achieved
if all the pins are knocked over on a second roll.
Lanes have a wood or synthetic surface onto which protective lubricating oil is applied in
different specified oil patterns that vary ball path trajectories and characteristics. Common types
of pin bowling include ten-pin, candlepin, duckpin, nine-pin, five-pin and kegel. The historical
game skittles is the forerunner of modern pin bowling.
In target bowling, the aim is usually to get the ball as close to a mark as possible. The
surface in target bowling may be grass, gravel, or synthetic. [1] Lawn bowls, bocce, carpet
bowls, pétanque, and boules may have both indoor and outdoor varieties.
Bowling is played by 100 million people in more than 90 countries (including 70 million
in the United States alone), and is the subject of video games.

4. To Elaborate

History of Bowling

Articles found in the tomb of an Egyptian child buried in about 3200 BC included nine
pieces of stone, to be set up as pins, at which a stone “ball” was rolled, the ball having first to roll
through an archway made of three pieces of marble. The modern sport of bowling at pins
probably originated in ancient Germany, not as a sport but as a religious ceremony. As early as
the 3rd or 4th century AD, in rites held in the cloisters of churches, parishioners may have placed
their ever-present club, or Kegel (the implement most Germans carried for sport and, certainly,
self-protection), at one end of a runway resembling a modern bowling lane. The Kegel was said
to represent the Heide (“heathen”). A stone was rolled at the Heide, and those successfully
toppling it were believed to have cleansed themselves of sin. Although the peasants’ club
evolved into pins, the association remained, and even today bowlers are often called keglers.
The passage of time brought an increase in the size of the stone rolled at pins, and
eventually the ball came to be made of wood. Many variations of the game developed, some
played with three pins, others with as many as 17. A biographer of the 16th-century cleric Martin
Luther has written that Luther built a bowling lane for his children which he occasionally visited,
sometimes throwing the first ball.

Among other significant historical references to bowling are an account of a great feast
given the citizenry of Frankfurt in 1463, at which the venison dinner was followed by bowling;
notations from 1325 in which “gambling on bowling” in Berlin and Cologne was limited to five
shillings; and the award of an ox to the winner of a bowling competition in 1518, given by the
city of Breslau (now Wrocław, Pol.).

In the 15th, 16th, and 17th centuries, the game spread into the Low Countries and also
into Austria and Switzerland. The playing surfaces were usually cinders or clay, specially treated
and sun-baked to a hardness resembling concrete. The roofing over of lanes, first done
in London for lawn bowls around 1455, was the beginning of bowling as an all-weather, around-
the-clock game. When the lanes were covered or put into sheds (called Kegelbahns in Germany
and Austria and usually attached to village taverns or guest houses), the playing surfaces ranged
from wood or hardened clay to, in later years, asphalt.

COMMON BOWLING TERMINOLOGY

Strike. When all pins are knocked down with one ball. You get 10 points for these pins, plus the
points of the next two balls thrown.

Spare. All 10 pins are knocked down with 2 consecutive balls. You get 10 points for this plus
the points from the pins that your next bowl knocks down.

Frame. One turn - you get two chances to knock down the pins within one frame.

Foul Line. The is the black line at the start of the lane.

Foul. You will receive a foul if you step over the foul line.

A Double. When you get two strikes in a row.


A Turkey. 3 strikes in a row.
Gutter. This is the sections either side of the lane where the ball ends up if they come off the
lane or you miss.
Equipment Used in Bowling
Bowling balls - A round ball made from rubber, urethane, plastic, reactive resin, or a
combination of these materials. Ten-pin bowling balls have three drilled holes in them - one for
the ring and middle finger, and one for the thumb.
Bowling bags - Carries and protects one or more bowling balls.
Bowling accessories - Non-slip grip cream, grip sacks, bowling ball maintenance tools, hand and
wrist grip supports, towels, gloves, bowling ball cleaning equipment and supplies
Bowling clothes - Bowling games usually take place in air-conditioned bowling centers. Casual
attire can be worn.
Compared to bowling players, bowling center operators have different bowling equipment. Their
most important concern in a bowling center is the bowling alleys. A bowling alley has different
parts and equipment that require operation and maintenance.
Bowling lane - A long plane where a bowling ball rolls towards the pins. Long wooden boards
are joined together to form a 75-foot long and 3.5-foot wide lane. The wooden plane is very
smooth. It requires maintenance by cleaning and polishing.
Bowling machine - A device that places and rearranges the pins.
Bowling ball retriever - A device that retrieves the ball after every shot, and returns it, via a
tunnel, to the player at the other end of the alley.
Players' area - At the end of the tunnel is a ball-sorting mechanism. A hand blow dryer may
also be installed at the bowling ball sorter. A computer and display monitors show players the
game points. The players would have seats and a table. A rack with extra bowling balls would
usually be placed beside the seats.
Bowling Rules
• The goal is to knock down all ten pins
• Each frame consists of throwing the ball twice to knock down all the pins
• If you knock down all the pins with the first ball, it is called a "strike"
• If you knock down all the pins with the second ball, it is called a "spare"
• Each games consists of ten frames. If you bowl a strike in the tenth frame, you get two more
balls. If you throw a spare, you get one more ball.
• Open frames are frames without a strike or spare
• Scoring is based on the number of pins you knock down. However, if you bowl a spare, you
get to add the pins in your next ball to that frame. For strikes, you get the next two balls.
• An average of three games is played. You determine a 3 game average by adding all 3 scores
and then dividing that number by 3.
• Accurate preliminary scores are essential for fair divisioning.
• Foul line is in effect. If you step over the foul line, any pins knocked down will not count
towards your score.
• Ramp Bowling is allowed for those athletes that are not physically capable of rolling a bowling
ball. The ramp is for physical disabilities and not to be used to just increase a score.
• Bumpers are not allowed.
