The American bolus, bowling, bowling or bowling is a ballroom sport that involves tearing down a set of pieces of wood (called bowling, pines or palitroques) by throwing a heavy ball against them. Unlike other types of bowling games, in this one, the ball rolls or slips and does not launch into the air. The track has dimensions of 19.20 meters long by 1.06m wide and an approach area of at least 4.60 meters. The preparation of the same before was done with slats of American maple wood with a width of 39 slats of 27.17 millimeters. Nowadays synthetic tracks are used, simulating the lines of the slats that serve as reference to the players in their launches. The ball is spherical and has three holes so that it can be taken with little force. The weight of this ball is usually between 9 and 16 pounds (approximately between 4.08 and 7.25 kilograms) and its diameter is 218.3 millimeters.
History
The most primitive forms of bowling can be dated to ancient Egypt and the Roman Empire. 2000 years ago a similar game evolved among the Roman legions, this involved throwing stone objects as close as possible to others. This game became popular among Roman soldiers, and eventually evolved in the Italian bocce.
The first standardized rules for bowling were established in New York City on September 9, 1894, 50 years after arrival at those places. Currently this sport is practiced by 95 million people in more than ninety countries around the world, and has continued its growth through electronic entertainment such as video games.

Departure
Diagram of the distribution of bowling (pines).
A typical bowling game consists of 10 games or throws where each game consists of two throws unless a full is made (or strike or chuza or moñona, knock down the 10 bowling with a single shot of the ball), in which case no It is released again in that game. In some types of the game the full is counted with 15 points and the semi-full with 13. The last game is special, since, depending on the results of the pitches in the previous game, one or two extra pitches can be chosen. This will occur in the case of being able to throw in the tenth game all the bowling of two runs (semi-full or spare) or one roll (full or strike), respectively.
The bowling (in total 10) are placed equidistant from each other at 30.5 cm, at the end of the track, in the shape of an equilateral triangle.
To compete, you need a minimum of two players and each of them in their pitches will try to knock down as many pins or pins as possible.

There is a play called split, hole, horns or banderillas, which consists of two or more bowling (bolus 1 must have been knocked down) standing at a minimum distance of a bolus between any of them (for example bowling 7- 10, considered the most difficult to perform, 1 since they are at each end of the track). On the scoreboard, the Split is marked with a circle above the number of bowls knocked down in that pitch.
