    摘要: When a bowler begins a roll and the result of the roll is detected by a scanner, the detection result is transmitted as data to a host computer via a bowler console assigned to each lane, and the scores of the bowlers are tallied. The scores of the bowlers are transmitted to a sub computer connected to or housed within the host computer, possible maximum scores are calculated by adding to the scores of the roll results the scores that would be attained by knocking down all pins with no misses in subsequent rolls, and the rolls needed to decide the rankings, point differences, and outcome are determined. The rolls needed to decide the calculated rankings, point differences, and outcome are displayed on a lane monitor, a ranking table monitor, a televised lane screen, a televised player, and a televised ranking table screen.

    摘要: A game platform and process of setting up and scoring individual game pins on the game platform is provided. The platform and process has utility to mitigate the negative impact of recurring manual setup of individual game pins on a game surface prior to beginning or continuing play such as the misalignment of individual game pins potentially creating an unfair advantage or disadvantage to those playing the game. The platform and process also has utility to increase the efficiency and uniformity of game setup and game play. The platform affords automatic identification of a misaligned game pin and notifies a player of the need to realign the game pin. The platform has further utility to automatically score the game and generate additional game information in real-time.

    摘要: A bowling aiming apparatus, configured to be used with a bowling lane, includes a frame and a target suspended from the frame. The frame includes two legs which lie parallel to one another within opposite troughs of the bowling lane and extend along a longitudinal direction of the troughs. The frame further includes two uprights, each coupled to a respective leg, such that the uprights are parallel to one another and perpendicular to the legs. The frame further includes a crossbar assembly coupled to the uprights and arranged perpendicularly to the uprights and perpendicularly to the legs. The crossbar assembly spans a width of the bowling lane. The target is suspended from the crossbar assembly, and is positioned on the crossbar assembly such that at least a portion of the target is arranged in a line of sight of a bowler using the bowling lane.
