Bowling can refer to two distinctly different types of game. The first is played along an "alley", most commonly made of synthetic material imitating a wood surface. Historically, bowling lanes were made of wood, however most centers around the United States have upgraded to the synthetic playing surfaces. Several sports involve a all rolling towards a target, in this case pins, here the players attempt to score points by knocking the targets down. Included in this group are
- Ten-pin bowling
- Five-pin bowling, played in Canada
- Nine-pin skittles
- Candlepin bowling, played in eastern Canada and New England, is a variation of ten-pin bowling, where the player gets to roll a small ball three times per frame instead of two, and the fallen pins are not removed between throws.
- Duckpin bowling, commonly found in the mid-Atlantic and northeastern U.S. and eastern Canada, is another variation of ten-pin bowling, where the player rolls three times per frame toward small, squat pins.
The second group of bowling is played outdoors, usually on a lawn. Here the players throw a ball, which is sometimes eccentrically weighted, in an attempt to put it closest to a designated point. This group includes games such as Lawn bowls, Bocce Ball, and Pétanque.
