Duckpin Bowling Rules
BOWLIING ETIQUETTE The Golden Rule “Do unto others as you would have them to do unto you” also applies in bowling. * Remain back of the foul line at all times. * After delivering the ball, walk straight back on the approach. Do not remain standing near the foul line. * Do not walk in front of a bowler to pick up your ball of the rack or to mark up a score, is he/she is in the position to start his/ her delivery. * Do not attempt to deliver the ball at the same time as the bowler on the adjoining lane. If you are both ready to bowl at the same time, remember- the person at your right has the right way- acknowledge it. * After delivering the ball, use only the width of your lane for any contortions of “body English” in which you may wish to indulge. * Do not talk to a bowler while he/she is delivering his ball. You can have a lot of fun kidding but do it at the right time. * Control your temper and refrain from abusive language. * Do not always expect a strike every time you hit the head pin. * Use good sportsmanship at all times- give credit where credit is due. * Do not get discouraged- you can learn. Remember, a happy disposition and a bright smile is as big an asset in bowling as anywhere and being able to laugh at yourself and your own failures is the first step in correcting your errors. * Use your own balls of the house balls, never to use another person’s ball without his/her permission.

Class Guidelines

1. Get your index card and sign as you arrive at the Alumni Center Bowling Alley. 2. Go to your respective lane assignment. 3. Write your name in the score sheet.

    The Game of Wiffleball

    • 347 Words
    • 2 Pages

    The WIFFLE ball was designed to take the place of baseball, stickball and softball for boys and girls in back yards and city streets. It is made of a tough rubbery plastic – is light in weight and cannot be thrown or hit any great distance. The WIFFLE ball is also an excellent indoor ball. The WIFFLE ball is thrown like a baseball and will curve very easily. The minimum number of players required to play a game with the WIFFLEball is two – the pitcher and batter – one player per side. The maximum number of players that can complete are ten – five players to a side. If a full team is playing, each side will consist of a catcher, pitcher, double area fielder, triple area fielder and home run area fielder. Fielders cannot move from one area to another when a full team is playing. When more than two players are playing, captains for each side are picked and they choose their respective teams alternately. As in baseball, the game is played with one team at bat and one team in the field. The batting order of the team at bat shall be Pitcher, Catcher, Double Area player, Triple Area player and finally Home Run area player. The rules of play are similar to baseball, however there is no base running. Three outs to retire a side, per inning, nine innings per game. In case of a tie, additional innings are played. For a complete inning, both sides must bat. An out for the batter can be made in three ways: 1.The batter can strike out only if he/she swings at a pitched ball and does not foul tip the third strike. Foul tips count as a strike for the first two strikes only. A foul tip caught in back of the batters box does not count as an out. 2. Fly balls caught in fair or foul territory. 3. Ground balls caught while the ball is in motion, in fair territory. Bunting is not allowed and the batter cannot obtain a base on…

    We tend to think that bowling is a very simple and boring sport played by only older men. I did my fieldwork at a bowling alley during two different leagues to explore the different social interactions among bowlers. I learned that bowling is not limited to one specific age group or gender. I also discovered there is a unique hierarchy among the bowlers that is not determined by their age or gender. This social status is dependent upon their bowling average, type of ball used, and the weight of their balls. I found there were many other social interactions that occurred between smaller groups of bowlers such as teammates.…

    Did you know that bowling has one of the longest and richest histories of all sports, dating back approximately 4,000 years to Greece and Rome? (Blau) Bowling is a very popular sport that is played worldwide by professionals. Bowling is a sport that you throw a weight ball down the lane to hit the pins. In bowling there is a thing called “A perfect game” and to meet that criteria you have to have 12 consecutive strikes in a row, you are not suppose to have any open frames. Otherwise to get a spare, you have to throw the ball down the lane than see if you’re able to pick up the rest of the pins that you didn’t get the first time and if you pick the leftover pins up than that is called a spare. Also, you have to have a certain or special ball and…

    The first time I saw it, I was hooked to the sport. I started out just bowling once in a while and then started bowling in leagues and eventually bowling tournaments. I needed to get better so I started practicing with my grandpa. As I got older so did he and his health started to deteriorate, which meant no bowling. I had a strong bond with my grandpa due to bowling and then we had nothing in common due to his health. One day, I went over to my grandparents’ house to visit them and they were cooking up a traditional family dinner. I was so intrigued on how to make the dishes that I asked my grandpa to teach me the recipe. From then on, I went over to their house every Sunday to cook with him. That very food was able to play a role that would connect me and my grandfather’s relationship once again, substituting bowling for food. Food has also played a role of teaching me civic virtues as stated in Alices Waters article. When at the dinner table, I learned to always chew with your mouth closed, put your napkin on your lap, be respectful to other guests around you, and always clean up your mess. All of these traits I have learned through the usage of…

    Two Handed Bowling

    • 2311 Words
    • 10 Pages

    Sandbagging is a term used in many sports to define someone that is intentionally playing the sport bad in order to better themselves with handicap. There are people that completely agree with this and use the handicap as an advantage. On the other hand, you have the people that are for all intentional purposes trying to do their best every week and try to keep their average high. There are two sides to every story and finding out the cheating side is always the hardest. Bowling two handed has become a controversy because people technically aren’t switching hands, which is against the rules, instead they are switching styles and this usually causes them to have a lower average. Some people think that a new rule should be added to completely do away with the two handed style all together and others think that if people want to sandbag, then let them sandbag.…
