The 4-5, 5-6, 7-8, 9-10 are known as side by side splits. Also called "fit splits" because you fit the ball inbetween them to pick it up.
I have been working my way through the Bowling for Dummies book and I am starting to wonder how dumb the author is. How is 7-8 and 9-10 both considered splits which the pins are side by side?

Other terminology on the situation would be called a leave.. I have that book that's on Pg 176 book has good basic's..
Left a 4-7,9,10 the other night....yeeeeeesh...
Thats a better term. I have the digital edition, so no page numbers.
What about crazy leaves like a 2-3 or a 7-8.
Would they be considered splits?
The 2-3 & 8-9 would be side by side splits like the others, but like a lot of other leaves. They are not mentioned in most bowling references, because they are virtually impossible to leave.
Something to note while some might not regard "side by side" splits as actual splits, because they don't meet the definition of a split.
There are leaves that meet part of the definition of a split, but are not considered splits. These would be a lot of the washouts, such as the 1-2-10 for example.
While it meets the definition of a split, since the head pin is still there. It's just considered & marked as a washout (W) on the score sheet. (This is from when you kept score by hand and would note splits ,washout etc. on the sheet.)
