Tournament rules

1. Bowling is an inning-based game, with the number of knocked-down bottles used to score points and determine the winner.

A game is divided into 10 rounds, and each round has two chances to bowl.

If you knock down all 10 bottles in a round on the first throw, that is, all of them, you cannot throw a second time.

The only difference is the 10th round, if the first pitch is a full hit, you still have to continue to throw the last two balls.

If it is a make-up hit, you have to continue to throw the last ball to end the whole inning.

It is worth emphasizing that if two pitches do not knock down all 10 bottles, the third chance will be automatically canceled.

2. The game is played by drawing lots to determine the order of play.

Each inning is played on adjacent pairs of lanes and lanes are swapped each round until the end of the inning.

In the second game, the lanes will be swapped, with the odd-numbered players moving to the left and the even-numbered players moving to the right.

Sometimes it is possible to move the lanes to the right in a uniform manner, in order to have an equal opportunity for each player to meet.

The sequence of bowling is based on the order of A.B.C drawn.

3. In bowling, the ranking will be decided by the total score of 6 games.
