Hi folks, I’m a newbie here.
I’ve been bowling for many years and I know most of the terminology associated with bowling, but I can’t remember how many “boards” there are on a bowling alley and how they’re numbered. To my recollection, I think there’s 39 boards and they’re numbered from each channel 1 through 20, 20 being the center board and center arrow. Somebody let me know if I’m wrong or correct. I also forget how long the alleys are. Seems to me they’re somewhere around 60 feet or so?
