Bowling Rules

In recent years, bowling has developed faster and faster in my country. As an indoor sport, bowling is easy to learn and is not affected by weather. It is a sport suitable for all ages. Now let me briefly introduce the rules of bowling to you. Bowling is divided into individual and team competitions. Before the game starts, the lanes and the order of throwing the ball are determined by drawing lots, and each person throws the ball in turn.

The person throwing the ball must stand behind the foul line. Crossing the line or stepping on the line will be considered a foul and the ball will be invalid. There are also clear regulations on the method of throwing the ball. It must be done by throwing it forward. Any other method is considered a foul. There are no specific requirements for clothing and shoes. Bowling is played in innings. Each inning is divided into ten grids, with two balls in each grid. The two sides take turns throwing the balls every two balls. At the end of each round, the side with the higher score wins.

There are ten pins in bowling, and there are two chances to hit the ball in each grid. If all ten pins are knocked down in the first throw, it will be recorded as ten points, and the number of pins knocked down in the next two balls will be added as the total score for this grid. If all ten pins are knocked down in the second throw, it will also be recorded as ten points, and the number of pins knocked down in the first ball of the next grid will be added as the total score for this grid, and so on, until the tenth grid is reached.

The tenth frame is special. There are a total of three chances to throw the ball, but the prerequisite is that all ten pins must be knocked down in the first two times before you can throw the third ball. Otherwise, you can only add up the number of knocked pins in the first two throws as the score of the tenth frame. There are no hard and fast rules for the weight of the bowling ball you choose to throw. Bowling balls generally weigh between six and sixteen pounds, with a total of 11 weight grades.

The weight of the bowling ball should be chosen mainly based on personal arm strength, age, weight, etc. There are three finger holes on the bowling ball, one for the middle finger, one for the ring finger, and one for the thumb. There are many different techniques for playing bowling. The main techniques that are popular internationally now include: straight shot, curve shot, diagonal shot, hook shot and spin shot. With the continuous development of technology, the techniques for playing bowling are becoming more and more diverse.
