The HullaBoard - View Single Post - What Is 5 Pin Bowlin???

I was searching through Google, and found this forum. 5 pin bowling is only bowled in canada. Each pin is worth a different amount of points. The middle pin(head pin) is worth 5 points, the two pins on each side of the middle pin is worth 3 points, and the 2 outer pins are worth 2 points apiece, for a total of 15 points. So using the sams scoring methods as in 10 pin, a perfect game works out to a 450. However, this score is rare, and is definately challenging. I have bowled 5 pin for 18 years now in the toronto area, and if anyone else has questions, please feel free.
