Nine-pin bowling
Nine-pin bowling (also known as ninepin bowling, nine-pins, 9-pins, kegel, etc.) is a bowling game played primarily in Europe. European championships are held each year. Over 90,000 members are on teams in Germany, often playing in officially registered ''Bundeskegelbahnen'' (federal bowling alleys) to be found in almost every sizable town. In Europe overall, there are some 130,000 players. Austria, Belgium, Luxembourg, Switzerland, Serbia, Slovenia, Croatia, Macedonia, Hungary, Brazil and Liechtenstein are other countries in which nine-pin bowling lanes are often found. The United States and Canada, having a predominance of facilities for the modern ten-pin sport which originated there, as well as regionally popular "small-ball" bowling sports of various types, do not have many facilities in existence for the nine-pin game in the 21st century.
==European version==
This game is played by rolling a ball down an alley towards nine pins. In difference to the tenpin bowling ball — and like the equipment used for the eastern North American "small-ball" bowling sports of candlepin and duckpin — the ninepin ball has no holes for the fingers. The lanes are 19.5 m long. The nine pins (sometimes cones) are placed in a diamond shape on the alley. In most lane systems the pins are connected by a string on top, as part of a string pin-setter, to pick up the pins and replace them back into the diamond shape for the next roll. These strings can be a positive factor for the bowler, as they can knock down other pins, or a negative factor, as they can get tangled up, though this is not a problem as the machines can retract the strings for a short distance and allow a few seconds for them to untangle automatically.
The game is played in 120 throws of four lanes. On each lane there are 30 throws; the first fifteen throws simply reset the pins after each throw, and the next fifteen throws reset the pins only after all the pins are knocked down (knocked down pins remain out of play until no pins are left). Some lane systems are not advanced enough to support the latter stage, only allowing thirty throws on all nine pins.
The standard ball is 16 cm in diameter and weighs approximately 2.85 kg. The U14 (11–14 years) plays with 14 cm/1.9 kg. The pins usually have a weight of approximately 1.730 kg. In the Netherlands, the balls are heavier (7 to 10 kg) and bigger (between 21 to 24 cm), and have a hole for the thumb.
