The cheese is thrown at the pins using a swinging motion whilst stepping forwards. After an initial throw, the remaining pins (the 'broken frame') may end up in a variety of formations - many of which have a distinctive name, such as a London Bridge or the Novices. Knocking down all the pins at once is known as a 'floorer' and is highly respected. The last time a player is known to have thrown three floorers in succession was in 1960. While it was once a popular game played in pubs all over [[London]] (many sited by the [[Thames]] river), it is now only played at the Freemasons Arms in [[Hampstead]].<ref>{{cite web |title=The Game of London Skittles |website=London Skittles |publisher=The Hampstead Lawn Billiard and Skittle Club |url=http://www.londonskittles.co.uk/ |access-date=7 April 2018 }}</ref> The origins of this skittles game are vague, but it is thought by some to have been started by [[Netherlands|Dutch]] sailors, possibly playing on the decks of [[Mooring (watercraft)|moored]] [[barge]]s. A game of London skittles can be seen played in the film [[The Water Gipsies (film)]]. ====Guernsey==== In the Sarnia Skittles League of [[Guernsey]],<ref name="SSL">{{cite web|url=http://www.sarniaskittles.com/ |title=sarniaskittles.com |publisher=sarniaskittles.com |access-date=2014-07-28}}</ref> the teams are made up of six players playing five legs of three balls.

There are mixed leagues (males and females in each team) and there are all male leagues and all female leagues. The highest known score in a game of 8 man skittles was in the Street and District league, this was by Ryan Church for the Carrot Crunchers. He scored 97 in 6 hands including two 26 spares. Traditionally, Somerset skittles uses wooden balls (made from apple wood or similar) and wooden pins. Times have changed and for various reasons, some alleys now use composite rubber balls and nylon pins. Bristol and North Somerset alleys have, in the past been known for their "camber". Some alleys were (and still are) raised in the middle, making bowling an accurate art. As of 2024, active skittles leagues in Bristol and North Somerset include: Bristol Northwest Skittles League,<ref name="Bristol Northwest Skittles League">{{cite web|url=https://www.bnwskittles.com/ |title=Bristol Northwest Skittles League |access-date=2024-03-31}}</ref> Central Skittles League (Weston),<ref name="Central Skittles League">{{cite web|url=https://centralskittleleague.co.uk/ |title=Central Skittles League |access-date=2024-03-31}}</ref> Clevedon and District Clubs Skittles League,<ref name="Clevedon and District Clubs Skittles League">{{cite web|url=https://clevedonanddistrictclubsskittlesleague.co.uk/ |title=Clevedon and District Clubs Skittles League |access-date=2024-03-31}}</ref> Clevedon Skittles League,<ref name="Clevedon Skittles League">{{cite web|url=https://clevedonskittlesleague.co.uk/ |title=Clevedon Skittles League |access-date=2024-03-31}}</ref> 'Hop Leaf' Skittles League (Bristol),<ref name="Hop Leaf Skittles League">{{cite web|url=https://hopleafskittles.wixsite.com/bristol |title=Hop Leaf Skittles League |access-date=2024-03-31}}</ref> Kingswood Skittles League,<ref name="Kingswood Skittles League">{{cite web|url=http://www.kingswoodskittles.co.uk/ |title=Kingswood Skittles League |access-date=2024-03-31}}</ref> Nailsea and District Skittles League,<ref name="Nailsea and District Skittles League">{{cite web|url=http://ndskittles.co.uk/index.html |title=Nailsea and District Skittles League |access-date=2024-03-31}}</ref> New Bristol Charity Skittles League,<ref name="New Bristol Charity Skittles League">{{cite web|url=https://newbristolcharityskittles.com/ |title=New Bristol Charity Skittles League |access-date=2024-03-31}}</ref> Paulton and District Skittles League,<ref name="Paulton and District Skittles League">{{cite web|url=https://p-d-s-l.com/ |title=Paulton and District Skittles League |access-date=2024-03-31}}</ref> Portishead, Pill, and District Skittles League,<ref name="Portishead, Pill and District Skittles League">{{cite web|url=https://portishead-and-pill-skittles.webador.co.uk/ |title=Portishead, Pill and District Skittles League |access-date=2024-03-31}}</ref> Severnside Skittles League,<ref name="Severnside Skittles League">{{cite web|url=https://severnsideskittles.leaguerepublic.com/index.html |title=Severnside Skittles League |access-date=2024-03-31}}</ref> Weston-super-Mare and District Skittles League,<ref name="Weston-super-Mare and District Skittles League">{{cite web|url=https://wsmdsl.co.uk/ |title=Weston-super-Mare and District Skittles League |access-date=2024-03-31}}</ref> Wrington Vale Skittles League,<ref name="Wrington Vale Skittles League">{{cite web|url=https://www.wringtonvaleskittles.co.uk/ |title=Wrington Vale Skittles League |access-date=2024-03-31}}</ref> and Yatton and District Summer Skittles League.<ref name="Yatton and District Summer Skittles League">{{cite web|url=https://www.yattonanddistrictsummerskittles.co.uk/ |title=Yatton and District Summer Skittles League |access-date=2024-03-31}}</ref> ====Worcestershire==== =====Worcestershire Rules Variations===== ======The Alley, Pin diamond, Pins and Balls====== As with all variations of skittles the pins are laid out in a diamond and played on an alley, with the pins placed on painted squares known as plates. In the Worcestershire Leagues there is no set measurement for this, instead the size of the diamond should be 'not less than {{convert|3|ft|10|in|abbr=on}} and no greater than {{convert|4|ft|2|in|abbr=on}}.<ref name="ReferenceA">{{cite book|title=Worcester and District Skittles League, Rules and Regulations 2011}}</ref> The pins and balls are known as the 'Kit' and the balls should be made of wood, Tufnol or rubber and 'must not exceed five and a quarter inches in diameter and no less than four and three quarter inches in diameter'.<ref name="ReferenceA"/> Despite guidelines for the diamond and balls there is no uniform size of pin needing only 'to be uniform size and painted white, one and a half inches around the top.<ref name="ReferenceA"/> The Alley itself should be 'clean and well lit, with a bowling line approximately {{convert|33|ft|abbr=on}} to the front pin of the diamond'.<ref name="ReferenceA"/> However this rule is not strictly enforced with some alleys being shorter than others. The Alley itself can be either Lino or Wood. The front pin is known as the 'King' and is painted with a white, one and a half inch wide vertical stripe. The two pins to either side are known as the 'Quarter pins' and are marked with either a triangle or the numbers 1 and 2, in order to identify them. Traditionally the 'King' is the heaviest pin, with the 'Quarters' being heavier than the rest of the pins but not heavier than the 'King'. Directly behind the 'King' is the middle pin which is known as the 'Birdie', as the other pins form a 'cage' around it. The back pin sits directly behind the 'Birdie', the 'Back quarters' directly behind the 'Quarter' pins, and the 'Wingers' on the outside of the diamond. The 'Birdie', 'Back Quarters', 'Back Pin' and 'Wingers' are non-specific pins and are not marked so any of the six unmarked pins can be placed on any of the six plates. Because of the lack of guidelines on pin size, the pins themselves vary in size. this leads to some 'Kits' being higher scoring than others and some alleys being higher scoring than others, due to variations in length and diamond size ======Scoring pins====== All balls must touch the Alley before the 'Line' to be deemed as legal. However the 'Linesman' (a member of the opposing team who sits and watches the line) must call 'Over' before the ball strikes a pin. If they fail to do this, the pins felled will count. In Worcester skittles all pins are live until they land in the pit behind the diamond, or leave the alley on an open side. They can rebound off a side wall back into the diamond taking down other pin(s). In some alleys, such as the Saracens Head in Worcester, the Diamond is flanked by two side walls making the possibility of a spare, achieved by bouncing pins off the wall more of a possibility. It is more than common to hear the cries of 'let it roll' go out in the alleys of the city to stop an over enthusiastic 'sticker up' (a young person employed to put the pins back up after they have been knocked down) removing a pin from the alley before it has finished knocking down the others. However, if a ball hits the cush, or wall or passes through the diamond and bounces back out of the pit before felling pins the frame must be reset. ======Spiders and Spares====== A Player scoring no pins after bowling three balls in the leg is known as scoring a 'Spider'. A spider is recorded by drawing legs and a face onto the zero on the board and is greeted with delight when yayayayay the opposing team returns to the alley. A 'Spare' where the pins are reset after being felled with balls to spare is denoted on the board by a circle drawn around the score. This is not greeted so favourably. The maximum score in a 9-pin frame is 27, however this is virtually unheard of, the highest spare in the history of the Worcester and District was thought to be a 24 scored by Gary Sandbrook whilst playing for the Independents Skittle team in the early 1990s, the highest spare in the friendly league was achieved by Scott Heywood with a full house score of 27 at the Alma tavern whilst playing for the Rushwick Cavalier on 18 September 2014. Fun fact:Spares are not uncommon however, and a good score in the Worcestershire in 49 plus. =====Worcester and District Skittle League===== The Worcester and District Skittle League,<ref>{{cite web|last=Worcester and District Skittles League|url=http://worcesterskittles.com/|title=Worcester and District Skittles League}}</ref> 12 players, playing 5 legs of 3 ball (winter league, men only, Tuesday nights) is the oldest skittle league running in the county, having been restarted post-[[World War II|war]] in 1946, and is a founder member of the Three cities Association. The Worcester and District is the county representative in the Three City Cup competition, played between [[Worcestershire]], [[Gloucestershire]] and [[Herefordshire]] between September and May each season. The rivalry between the District and the younger Friendly leagues (WFSL) in Worcester has always been great; however, in season 2004/05 it was decided by the District League that players signed on for a team registered for their competition were free to play for a team affiliated with the WFSL. Up to that point playing for a team in the WFSL while being signed on to a team affiliated with the Worcester and District would lead to a lifetime ban from the District League. Until the end of season 2009/10 the scoring system was different for both leagues, with the Worcester and District League opting for the traditional 2 points for a win and 1 for a draw, and the WFSL opting for a system which awards 2 points for winning a leg and 10 points for the game, a total of twenty points. However at the start of season 2010/11 the same scoring system as the WFSL was adopted by the Worcester and District in order to increase the competitive nature of the League and hopefully stem the declining interest in the sport. In recent years, the popularity of Skittles has declined with the District League and WFSL both having to reduce the number of divisions from 5 down to 3. =====District Cup Competitions===== The District League compete for a number of cup competitions, with matches taking place on both Tuesday and Friday evenings. The premier cup competition being the Team Knock Out, but also the King Pin Cup (a variation in the rules applied so the front pin, or King pin as its known in Worcester has to be knocked over before scoring can commence) and the Mick Potter Memorial Trophy. There are also Singles (solo players) and Doubles (Teams of two) as well as a Six a side Trophy held each year. =====The County Cup===== The County Cup is played between the representative sides of the WFSL, Worcester and District, Worcester Ladies, Malvern Men's League and the Malvern Ladies League. It is played on a Round Robin basis, with ten fixture dates (to include one bye), a play off, and a final. The Evesham League is not included, possibly due to too many rule variations (player v player format, mixed teams). =====Worcester Friendly Skittle League (WFSL)===== In the Worcester Friendly Skittle League (WFSL) of [[Worcestershire]],<ref name="WFSL">{{cite web|url=http://www.w-f-s-l.co.uk/ |title=w-f-s-l.co.uk |publisher=w-f-s-l.co.uk |access-date=2014-07-28}}</ref> both the men's and ladies' winter leagues are made up of 12 players. Men's Matches are played on Monday and Wednesday Nights and Ladies on Thursdays. =====Malvern Men's Skittle league===== Malvern Men's Skittle League has been running for over 35 years within the Malvern area.<ref>{{cite web|last=Malvern Men's Skittles|url=http://www.mmslonline.net/|title=Malvern Men's Skittles|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160303224742/http://www.mmslonline.net/|archive-date=2016-03-03}}</ref> This includes Great Malvern, Malvern Link, Madresfield, Barnards Green, Cradley, West Malvern, Hanley Swan, Colwall and Suckley. League and Cup games are played on Thursday evenings, over a 42-week period beginning in September running through to the following June. With over 400 members from 31 teams who meet with their friends and teammates to play skittles; this makes Thursday night one of the busiest in the Malvern area's pubs and clubs. Each team consists of 9 players (although teams can sign as many players as they wish), league matches consist of 5 'legs' (each player bowling 3 balls), the winning team of each 'leg' gaining one point. The team scoring most 'pins' overall is also awarded 6 points. League matches are enhanced with team (Ken Baker Cup), 4 a side, doubles and singles cup competitions all played on Thursday evenings. =====Evesham Skittles League===== The league was formed in the early 1970s and is based around the Vale of Evesham and surrounding districts. It is played mostly in Public Houses, Working Men's Clubs, British Legion Clubs, Social and Recreational Clubs within a {{convert|12-15|mi|abbr=on}} radius of Evesham in Worcestershire. The league consisted of six divisions with a total of 72 teams competing These teams play from Monday to Thursday during the season, which stretches from early September through to late May. Teams included both men and women. The Evesham League game has been structured upon the Long alley-Western type of game, whereby 9 pins are formed in the shape of a diamond facing the player The pins are normally placed upon a steel plate, which bear markings to identify placement of each pin The League allows pins to be made from either wood or high density polyurethane and the design is based upon the {{convert|10|in|abbr=on}} Gloucester pin Balls can be made from wood or composite material and are approximately {{convert|4.75|in|abbr=on}} in diameter. The League stipulates that the front pin facing the player should always be marked and is known as the 'King' pin. The two pins next to the 'King' pin are also marked and these are known as the 'Quarter' pins All the alleys within the Evesham League are wood and are based upon general guidelines in terms of length and width. Each Team consists of 10 Players, each player playing six legs consisting of 3 balls per leg. The game consists of 6 legs for each team, each player bowling once (3 balls) per leg. Points are awarded on the basis of each leg won, plus a further 6 points for an overall win, making a full six leg win 12 Points. Many years ago the League introduced a system of play, whereby each player bowls alternatively against a player of the opposing team for each leg. This proved to be a successful format creating tension and excitement down to the last leg - last man. ====Other counties in England==== {{Expand section|date=June 2009|reason=Mentioned, but no details given.}} [[File:Nine Pin Bar Skittles at The Cock, Broom, Bedfordshire.JPG|thumb|left|Well looked-after Nine Pin Bar Skittles at The Cock, Broom, Bedfordshire]] The game is also very common in the southwest [[Counties of the United Kingdom|counties]] of [[Cornwall]], [[Devon]], and [[Dorset]]. In Dorset some games are played by bowling a technique known as the 'Dorset flop', it is mainly used by those without proper technique. This is where the bowler crouches on the alley and throws themselves and the ball forward landing on their stomach and letting the ball go between two bowling lines. In some parts of [[Somerset]] the ball has to hit a pitch plate (a diamond painted on the alley) in order for it to be a legal ball. It is also popular in [[South Wales]]. ====South Wales==== In the Cardiff and District skittles league the teams are made up of 12 players playing 5 legs of three balls. The league was founded in 1909 and is still very popular in the region with 10 men's divisions. Other leagues within the Cardiff area are The Cardiff Combined clubs league with 9 men's and 9 women's divisions, Skittles Cardiff<ref>[http://www.skittlescardiff.co.uk Skittles Cardiff]</ref> (a recent addition formed in 2010) and the Whitchurch and district skittles league In the Newport and District skittle league (started {{circa|1927}}), Men-only teams are made up of 12 players playing in groups of four v four (three sections) each playing 3 legs of 3 balls, the league did have 7 men's divisions of up to 15 teams but now down to 4 divisions, Premier, 1st, 2nd and 3rd (2016/17). In the 2012/13 season, the scoring changed from 2 points for a win and 1 point for a draw to 1 point for each leg and 2 points for the game. If the leg are drawn no points are awarded; however, if the game is drawn the a point is awarded to both sides. There is a Ladies league that is played on a Tuesday. They also play in the summer (started {{circa|1979}}) a mixed league. This has 3 divisions (2017), playing for 2 points a leg and 3 points for the game. There are cups to play for which are 8-a-side and also singles, pairs and fours. In 2016, Divisions 1, 2 & 3 were won by Dean Street, Windsor A and The Nightingale respectively. In the Conservative league (Men only), the scoring is slightly different, with 1 point for each leg and 2 points for the game. However, points are shared between both sides for a draw for the legs and the game. ====France==== The {{lang|fr|jeu de quilles de neuf}} ("nine-pin skittle game") of France, also known simply as {{lang|fr|quilles de 9}} or just {{lang|fr|[[quilles]]}}, is a complicated variant with similarities to both British skittles and [[pétanque]]. It is popular only in the southwest of the country. It is an indoor game which is played on a hard-packed surface. The skittles are placed on a square court, each resting on a round piece of wood called {{lang|fr|pitere}} or {{lang|fr|pitet}}, {{convert|2.20|m|abbr=on}} apart from each other. A skittle measures about {{convert|96|cm|abbr=on}} and weighs {{convert|3|kg|abbr=on}}, and is made of [[beech]] wood. The bowl (ball) weighs about {{convert|6|kg|abbr=on}} and has a {{convert|30|cm|abbr=on}} diameter; it is made of [[walnut]] wood.<ref name="Quilles.net">{{cite web |url=http://www.quilles.net/ |title=The French Nine Pin Skittles Game |first=Claude |last=Menvielle |location=[[Castelnau-Chalosse]], France |publisher=Comité Sportif National Quilles de 9 de la FFBSQ |year=2009 |access-date=2009-06-18 }} {{in lang|en|fr}}</ref> There is also an eight-pin version, {{lang|fr|quilles de huit (8)}}, and a version played with a mallet, {{lang|fr|quilles au maillet}}, which is related to [[ground billiards]] and its variants such as [[croquet]] and [[paille-maille]], and which has experienced a resurgence in [[Gascony]] since 1973. ====Ireland==== The Irish sport is a game played with five {{convert|3|in|mm|adj=mid|-high}} pins and three {{convert|9|in|mm|adj=mid|-high}} pieces of wood (skittles). Pins are numbered from 1 to 5, each representing a number of points. Throwers must toss the skittles towards the pins over a distance of approximately {{convert|8|m}} (this varies from [[Counties of Ireland|county]] to county) in order to score points with the aim to scoring exactly 41. Points are recorded in descending order. If a player should score too many points ("go bust", as in [[darts]]) they return to a score of 9 left, unless their previous score was above this in which case they return to that score. The game is played frequently in [[Public house|pubs]] and [[Gaelic games|Gaelic athletic]] clubs in various parts of the island with team leagues and cup matches. ====Germany, Central Europe and the United States==== {{Main|Nine-pin bowling}} The German sport '''kegel''' or [[nine-pin bowling]] is played in widely organized leagues through the country and is also popular in many other countries with long German connections, including Austria, Switzerland, Serbia, Slovenia, Croatia, Hungary and [[Liechtenstein]] and is currently gaining popularity in Australia. A variant was once also the dominant bowling game in the United States, but today only survives in a small area of rural [[Texas]]. </textarea><div class="templatesUsed"></div><p id="mw-returnto">Return to <a href="/wiki/Skittles_(sport)" title="Skittles (sport)">Skittles (sport)</a>.</p> <noscript><img src="https://login.wikimedia.org/wiki/Special:CentralAutoLogin/start?type=1x1" alt="" width="1" height="1" style="border: none; position: absolute;"></noscript> <div class="printfooter" data-nosnippet="">Retrieved from "<a dir="ltr" href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Skittles_(sport)">https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Skittles_(sport)</a>"</div></div> <div id="catlinks" class="catlinks catlinks-allhidden" data-mw="interface"></div> </div> </main> </div> <div class="mw-footer-container"> <footer id="footer" class="mw-footer" > <ul id="footer-info"> </ul> <ul id="footer-places"> <li id="footer-places-privacy"><a href="https://foundation.wikimedia.org/wiki/Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Privacy_policy">Privacy policy</a></li> <li id="footer-places-about"><a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:About">About Wikipedia</a></li> <li id="footer-places-disclaimers"><a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:General_disclaimer">Disclaimers</a></li> <li id="footer-places-contact"><a href="//en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Contact_us">Contact Wikipedia</a></li> <li id="footer-places-wm-codeofconduct"><a href="https://foundation.wikimedia.org/wiki/Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Universal_Code_of_Conduct">Code of Conduct</a></li> <li id="footer-places-developers"><a href="https://developer.wikimedia.org">Developers</a></li> <li id="footer-places-statslink"><a href="https://stats.wikimedia.org/#/en.wikipedia.org">Statistics</a></li> <li id="footer-places-cookiestatement"><a href="https://foundation.wikimedia.org/wiki/Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Cookie_statement">Cookie statement</a></li> <li id="footer-places-mobileview"><a href="//en.m.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Skittles_(sport)&action=edit&section=11&mobileaction=toggle_view_mobile" class="noprint stopMobileRedirectToggle">Mobile view</a></li> </ul> <ul id="footer-icons" class="noprint"> <li id="footer-copyrightico"><a href="https://wikimediafoundation.org/" class="cdx-button cdx-button--fake-button cdx-button--size-large cdx-button--fake-button--enabled"><img src="/static/images/footer/wikimedia-button.svg" width="84" height="29" alt="Wikimedia Foundation" loading="lazy"></a></li> <li id="footer-poweredbyico"><a href="https://www.mediawiki.org/" class="cdx-button cdx-button--fake-button cdx-button--size-large cdx-button--fake-button--enabled"><img src="/w/resources/assets/poweredby_mediawiki.svg" alt="Powered by MediaWiki" width="88" height="31" loading="lazy"></a></li> </ul> </footer> </div> </div> </div> <div class="vector-settings" id="p-dock-bottom"> <ul></ul> </div><script>(RLQ=window.RLQ||[]).push(function(){mw.config.set({"wgHostname":"mw-web.codfw.main-f69cdc8f6-pqfbt","wgBackendResponseTime":263,"wgPageParseReport":{"limitreport":{"cputime":"0.058","walltime":"0.083","ppvisitednodes":{"value":418,"limit":1000000},"postexpandincludesize":{"value":17740,"limit":2097152},"templateargumentsize":{"value":6556,"limit":2097152},"expansiondepth":{"value":9,"limit":100},"expensivefunctioncount":{"value":0,"limit":500},"unstrip-depth":{"value":0,"limit":20},"unstrip-size":{"value":469,"limit":5000000},"entityaccesscount":{"value":0,"limit":400},"timingprofile":["100.00% 57.632 1 -total"," 99.87% 57.559 2 Template:Blocked_text"," 42.45% 24.467 2 Template:Replace"," 39.34% 22.673 1 Template:Colocationwebhost"," 35.58% 20.507 1 Template:Hidden"," 14.86% 8.562 1 Template:Tlx"," 14.59% 8.409 1 Template:Hidden_begin"," 2.57% 1.481 1 MediaWiki:Wikimedia-globalblocking-blockedtext-mistake"," 2.38% 1.371 1 MediaWiki:Wikimedia-globalblocking-blockedtext-mistake-email-steward"," 2.15% 1.240 1 Template:Hidden_end"]},"scribunto":{"limitreport-timeusage":{"value":"0.011","limit":"10.000"},"limitreport-memusage":{"value":1043304,"limit":52428800}},"cachereport":{"origin":"mw-web.codfw.main-f69cdc8f6-pqfbt","timestamp":"20241125005217","ttl":2592000,"transientcontent":false}}});});</script> </body> </html>
