Talk:Duckpin bowling

message: I made this info more specific (since it can easily be found on various websites selling duckpin balls [such as this one]), but I still find it kind of odd that the information was so terribly vague before. Was there some good reason that it wasn't fixed earlier? Is this information in dispute or something that I'm not aware of?
Thanks!

message: It says that you recieve 3 rolls of a ball per frame, yet many bowling alleys that I have been to that have small sets of duckpin lanes only allow 2. Is there good citation on either?
The rule book of the National Duckpin Bowling Congress is the best citation, but it is copyright and not available on the Web as it is a benefit of sanctioning and membership. There is a short discourse at www.robinsweb.com on how to score duckpin bowling which is accurate.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 173.79.45.47 (talk) 06:29, 12 March 2010 (UTC)
thread_title:  3 balls per frame? 

message: I noticed that this article is tagged for needing cleanup because the introduction lacks context. I think it's hilarious that the introduction goes to great pains to explain that a bowling lane a wooden rectangle with gutters, but doesn't mention that duckpin bowling is a sport. I don't know enough about it to try and do an edit, but I thought I would point that out.

message: We should watch to see if 74.106.231.195 comes back to re-enter unsupported claims about 88 people having bowled unsanctioned perfect games. I corrected that section just now (the second paragraph of the "rules" section). DerekTK (talk) 21:28, 24 December 2010 (UTC)

message: The article claims "The rubber band game is now almost extinct, with most of the lanes located in private clubs, though there is one alley in the U.S. still open to the public in Glassport, Pennsylvania." I think there are at least a couple rubber band duck pin alleys in Pittsburgh that are open to the public. Here's an article about one in the Garfield neighborhood. Also, the duck pin bowling at Coop De Ville looks like rubber band duck pin from the photos. Nosferattus (talk) 14:53, 4 August 2021 (UTC)
replies: text: Glassport Lanes (http://glassportlanes.com/ or https://web.archive.org/web/20210804204428/http://glassportlanes.com/) apparently has rubber duckies; I couldn't find an independent source.  Zips Lanes (Johnstown PA) apparently closed, in fairly recent years. —RCraig09 (talk) 18:46, 4 August 2021 (UTC)
replies: text: So the alley in Garfield doesn't exist any more and the one at Coop De Ville is mini duckpin. So Glassport might, in fact, be the last one in the U.S. Still haven't been able to find any sources though. Nosferattus (talk) 15:04, 12 August 2021 (UTC)
