Bowling
Introduction
As a person who loves sports, I am fond of various sports. One of these sports is bowling.
Bowling (from the English to bowl – to roll) is a sports game of balls, which originated from the game of bowling. The aim of the game is to knock down the skittles set in a special way at the end of the edgeless track with the help of as few balls thrown by your hands as possible.
Some varieties
There are many varieties in the world: 5–pin bowling differs from 10–pin bowling not only in the number of pins, but also, for example, in the number of throws in each frame [1] , as well as in the different playing value of the pins; Candlepin bowling is characterized by the shape of pins that resemble candles; dakpin bowling also differs in the shape of the pins, they look like ducks, are smaller and very stable, while the balls are lighter; skittles and other species.
A little about the rules
The game consists of ten frames (frames). In each frame, 2 attempts are given in order to knock down all the pins. At the beginning of each frame, the player tries to knock out all 10 pins. If he copes with the task, then the result will be "Strike" (knocked down) and there will be no second attempt. If pins remain after the impact, a second throw must be made. If the remaining pins are knocked down, a "Spare" (reserve) is counted. If there are still pins left after the second throw, the result will be an “open” frame and the player is awarded only the number of points corresponding to the number of pins dropped. In the case of a Strike in the 10th frame, two additional rolls are given, in the case of a spa – one.
The maximum score is 300 points. Scoring is done automatically. The operator, before the start of the game, enters into the computer the names of all the players playing on the track.
Conclusion
Bowling is one of the most popular entertainment among people. And not casual. After all, the essence of the game is quite simple and straightforward. And both children and older people can play it. If only the player has enough strength to launch the bowling ball so that it reaches the pins. Although, as a rule, children also enjoy the process of starting / throwing the ball. It doesn't matter if he got to the pins or not.
So what is the essence of bowling? And in order to knock down the largest number of pins located on the opposite side of the playing track from you, for the least number of throws of special balls.
