Five Pin Bowling
A Brief Overview:

Fivepins is a variation of bowling that is very popular in Canada. In this game there are five pins, and unlike tenpin bowling, the pins have different point values.

The front centre or head pin is worth five points while the two pins on either side are worth three points. The two pins on the outside known as the corner pins, have a value of two points.

In earlier versions of fivepin bowling it was necessary to knockdown the left corner pin, known as the counting pin, for any points to be scored.

There are ten frames per game with each frame consisting of three rolls of the ball. A strike is scored if all the pins are knocked down on the first roll. A spare is counted if all the pins are knocked over in two rolls. When three rolls are required the total value of the pin knocked down is the score for that frame.

A total score of 450 is recorded in a perfect game in which only twelve balls would have been rolled recording a strike each time. Other forms of bowling include candlepins, duckpins, and ninepins.
