However, research has since found references to duckpin dating to the early 1890s in New Haven, Boston and Lowell, Mass. One such claim is reported in the Pittsburgh Press of March 3, 1929. A commonly recited assertion is that the sport began in Baltimore around 1900, at a bowling, billiards and pool hall owned by future baseball Hall of Famers John McGraw and Wilbert Robinson, both of the old (1882–1899) Baltimore Orioles. The origin of duckpin bowling has been disputed. Quoted game averages range from about 73 to about 94. History Įarly documentation of a "duck pin" bowling tournament in Lowell, Massachusetts, published on May 19, 1894. The maximum possible score of 300 points, which is accomplished by rolling 12 strikes in a row, has never been achieved under official conditions.ĭuckpin bowling lanes are the same size as ten-pin bowling lanes, but with smaller gutters. A bowler's final score is the sum of the points earned over 10 frames (a spare or strike in the tenth frame earns one or two rolls respectively). If it takes three balls to knock down all 10 pins, the bowler gets 10 points, with no bonus.

In the case of a spare, the bowler gets 10 points plus the number of pins knocked down with the next ball, for a maximum of 20 points. In the case of a strike, the bowler gets 10 points plus the total number of pins knocked down with the next two balls rolled, for a maximum of 30 points. If pins are still standing after the third ball, the bowler gets one point for each pin knocked down. If all the pins are knocked down in three rolls, it is scored as a ten, as in candlepins, with no bonus. If all the pins are knocked down in two rolls, the bowler has made a spare. If a bowler knocks down all 10 pins with their first roll in a frame, it is scored as a strike. Bowlers have three balls per frame, instead of two as in ten-pin bowling, to knock over a set of 10 pins.
In a 10-frame game, bowlers try to knock down pins in the fewest rolls per frame. ĭuckpin bowling has rules similar to ten-pin bowling. Non-regulation "mini-duckpin" bowling is played in additional locations.
