I noticed a few differences between this version of Nine Pin Bowling and the very rare American Nine Pin Bowling. 1. All of the Pins are set by hand in American Nine Pin Bowling, as opposed by machine in Nine Pin Bowling (though, in all honesty, having strings on the machine, as well as the Pins themselves are both bad ideas and it is also just as easy to set them up in a style like an automatic Ten Pin Bowling machine). 2. The Pins in Nine Pin Bowling are bigger, as well as more oddly shaped, than American Nine Pin Bowling Pins, which are essentially the same dimensions as Ten Pin Bowling Pins. 3. The Bowling Balls are between the size of Candlepin Bowling Balls and Ten Pin Bowling Balls in Nine Pin Bowling, whereas American Nine Pin Bowling Balls are essentially the same dimensions as Ten Pin Bowling Balls. 4. In Nine Pin Bowling, knocking all of the Pins down is legal, whereas knocking the middle Pin is illegal in American Nine Pin Bowling. 5. The scoring is different in Nine Pin Bowling versus American Nine Pin Bowling, but if anyone can clarify the differences on that, please be so kind as to inform me of them, okay? Thank you. Am I right with my information so far? Please add any other details that I may have overlooked, okay? Thank you.
I thought in American ninepin that if you get all down except the middle red pin (redhead) you get a score of 12 instead of 9 for the ringer, not that the red is "illegal"?
The strings on the pins can make the pins move differently and can result in knocking more pins. In first 15 throws the pins always reset to 9. After the 15 throws if you hit 7 for example it will place the remaining 2 back, and it will keep doing so until you clear them all. Hitting all the pins is the best possible thing to do since it doesnt requiere you to waste a throw on clearing the remaining pins
also the balls don't have holes in them and the track, which the walk down on, is sopposted to be super non slippery opposed to traditional bowling, where you have slippery shoes on
You get 30 balls, you simply score the number of pins you knock down. Top scoreboard displays: balls thrown, pins this shot, total pinfall - first 15 balls, the pins reset every time - second 15 balls, you have to clear the rack before getting a new one
@@yabbaguy , so how many frames, that is, IF frames are even used in Nine Pin Bowling anyway, does that come out to, and how does the scoring system differ from American Nine Pin Bowling, out of curiosity? Please let me know the answers to these questions. Thank you.
@@paxhumana2015 I recommend thinking of it as a 30-ball game rather than a game in frames. (After all, we see that the pinsetter is in motion after every shot.) Scoring is very simply the total number of pins literally toppled. As for American - I see your standalone comment, and I see a version explained on Wikipedia, but that scoring method described doesn't discourage hitting the center pin, so I'm guessing it doesn't describe your ruleset. One thing though - apart from rolling a ball at 9-pins, it seems this European version is drastically different!

This game looks fun
How do you score this version of bowling?
