  1. Bowling By Mr. Schmidt

  2. Bowling Etiquette • Tip #1 – Observe the foul line at all times. • Tip #2 – Be ready to bowl when it is your turn. • Tip #3 – Don’t distract or bother other players. • Tip #4 – Eliminate dilly-dallying between shots. • Tip #5 – Give the bowler on your right preference at all times. • Tip #6 – Remain on the bench until it is your turn to bowl.

  3. Bowling Rules • Your bowling ball weighs not more than 16 pounds nor less than 10 pounds. The circumference of the ball is 27 inches, and the diameter of the ball is 8.59 inches. • Ten pins are 15 inches in height, and must weigh not less than 2 pounds, 14 ounces, nor more than 3 pounds, 10 ounces. The design of all pins is clearly prescribed by the ABC. The distance between each pin is 12 inches from center to center.

  4. Bowling Rules • The length of an alley is 60 feet from the foul line to the headpin. The width of a normal alley is 42 inches, and the length of a normal alley approach is 16 feet from the foul line to the back edge. • A foul occurs any time after the ball leaves the bowler’s hand and passes over the foul line if the bowler permits his foot, hand, arm, or any other part of his body to touch the alley, gutters, division boards, walls or uprights that are beyond the foul line.

  5. Basic Score Keeping • Frame • There are ten frames in one game. You have two chances to knock down the ten pins in each frame (see the explanations for strike and spare). Note that the tenth frame rewards you with a final bonus ball if you convert your spare (or make two strikes). You can thus throw nine strikes in the first nine frames and if you get another two in the tenth, the bonus ball means the most strikes you can have in one game is twelve. This is called a perfect game.

  6. Basic Score Keeping Spare • Getting all ten pins down with one ball is not as easy as it seems! So, if you leave one or more pins standing after your first delivery, you get a second chance to knock all the pins down, this is your “spare” shot. If you knock all remaining pins down on the second shot you have made your spare. A spare is marked on the scoresheet with a “/”. It takes skill to consistently make spares and the scoring system rewards you by adding in the pins from the next ball into the current frame. See also split …..

  7. Basic Scorekeeping Strike • When the bowler knocks down all ten pins with the first delivery of the ball is called a strike. Clearly your score goes up by ten, but like a spare, you get a bonus – your next two deliveries are added to the score. Stringing strikes together will raise you score dramatically (See turkey). Marked on the scoresheet with and “X”.

  8. Things to know about Bowling Turkey • Getting three strikes in a row is called a “turkey”. After that most people start referring to the string of strikes as if they are collecting them in a bag, e.g. four-bagger etc. ; Each string of three strikes is worth thirty pins a frame! Perfect Game • If a bowler manages to score twelve strikes in a row, in the same game, the score is 300 (the highest possible) and it is called a perfect game. Open Frame • If you fail to make your spare, i.e. knock all pins down in two shots it is called an open frame.

  9. Holding the Bowling Ball • In the starting position you may hold the ball in front of you at any point from chin to knee level, but the ball should be squarely in front of you, and not off to one side or the other of your body. • Do not hold the ball above the level of your eyes, for you will strain yourself. Hold the ball in both hands, with the thumb and fingers of the right hand in the ball, and the weight of the ball resting mainly on the left hand so that the right is under no strain. Bowling Footwork • The bowler using a four-step approach steps forward on his right foot (if he is right handed) – opposite if you are left handed

  10. Bowling Terms RUNWAY • The approach or platform on which the bowler stands and delivers his ball. FRAME • The tenth part of a game. The squares indicating the tenth part of a game are called frames or boxes. SPARE • When you knock down all the pins with two balls in any frame STRIKE • When you knock down all the pins with your first ball in any frame.
