Bowling is a game in which players attempt to score points by rolling a bowling ball along a flat surface in order to knock down objects called pins. There are many forms of bowling, with the earliest dating back to ancient India. Origins can also be traced to ancient Finland and Yemen, and much later in 300 A.D. in Germany. In the US the best known form of bowling is probably the North American game of ten-pin bowling. This form, in both amateur and professional versions, is played around the world, making it one of the largest participation activities.
Most forms of bowling may be categorized as either indoor or outdoor bowling. Most forms are played on a "lane", a flat surface made of wood or a synthetic imitation, which is several times longer than it is wide. The overall length of a regulation lane is 60 feet measuring from the foul line to the head pin (1 pin). The lane should be between 41 and 42 inches in width.
