'''Speed bowling''' is a novelty format of traditional ten-pin [[bowling]]. It was invented on June 17, 2009 by [[Directory:Gregory J. Kohs|Gregory Kohs]].
==Rules==
Players must use a ball that is at least one-twelfth their body weight (up to 16 pounds). They have five minutes to complete as much of their ten-frame game as possible, using a single lane. The ball must not ever strike the metal "sweep" in front of the pins, as that is a disqualification, and the player's score will be zero for that game. Optionally, using a standard 2-lane system at a regulation alley, the player may alternate lanes to intensify the competition, and the sum of the two scores generated on the two lanes is tallied.
===Speed threshold===
If the alley is equipped with a radar gun mechanism (as found at various ''[[Directory:Lucky Strike|Lucky Strike]]'' alleys in the [[Directory:United States|United States]]), the player's ball velocity down the lane must not be measured less than 16 miles per hour at any point in the game, or the player is disqualified.
==Etiquette==
Speed bowling is not to be played on any lane where non-competitors are engaged in standard bowling on any adjacent lane.
