Bowling is a game in which players attempt to score points by rolling a bowling ball along a flat surface either into objects called pins or to get close to a target ball. There are many forms of bowling, with one of the most recent being ten-pin bowling and the earliest dating back to ancient Egypt. Other places where bowling was first seen were ancient Finland and Yemen, and in 300 A.D. in Germany. The first standardized rules were established in New York City, on September 9, 1895. Today, bowling is enjoyed by 95 million people in more than ninety countries worldwide and continues to grow through entertainment mediums such as video games for home consoles and hand held devices
Nice model and history! Cross-country Bocce is my favorite!
Here in parts of the New England region of the US and the Maritime Provinces of Canada we have what is called Candlepin bowling – http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Candlepin_bowling – which has a whole different set of rules and scoring that makes it confusing when you have a large group going bowling and they’re from all over the country and world. “Are we doing big balls or candlepin?” “Are we doing little balls or tenpin?” etc.
Candlepin bowling requires some very different techniques to score well.
Which one is favorite? I think my one.
I have made the sketch of bull just to point out the fact that these pins are tough enough to stand still no matter which ball hits them :)
I like the bull logo, since it turns the pins into a more aggressive part of the game rather than being totally passive.
Maybe bowling alleys could have different lanes with heavier pins, so one could talk about your score in the “Bulls” lane as opposed to the normal pins?
And now another silly sign!
Please be quiet, we want to hear a pin drop.
Can be found at a bowling alley.
Thanks for adding to sports and I didn’t even tell you about that group yet (or maybe I did and don’t remember)!
I once even saw a fancy Glow in the Dark bowling with fancy lights and a disco ball! Cool.
