Ten-pin bowling is a competitive sport in which a player rolls
a bowling ball down a wooden or synthetic lane with the objective of scoring
points by knocking down as many pins as possible. In the United States, United
Kingdom and Australia, the game is commonly referred to as just
"Bowling". In New England, "Bowling" is usually referred to
as "Regular Bowling" or "Ten-pin Bowling" because of the
"small-ball" used in candlepin and sometimes duckpin varieties, which
each use much smaller and lighter bowling balls as compared to tenpin bowling,
without the need for finger holes in them.
