Tenpin Bowling Tenpin Bowling is a sport where the aim is to knock down as many targets as possible by rolling a ball down a wooden pathway, the lane. The game is made more difficult by gutters which run along either side of the lane. If a ball falls into this gutter, no targets will be hit, and therefore no score will be acquired. A game is divided into ten frames. In a frame each player is given two chances to known down the pins. In the event that all ten pins were razed with the first ball, a strike, they receive points and a bonus. The international federation, Fédération Internationale des Quilleurs, was founded in 1952.
