Cone image
When bowling, a picture is a certain formation of knocked over or - after a throw on a "full picture" - stopped cones. In the "clearing" game, this formation is also the starting formation for the next throw. It is often less favorable to achieving the goal of clearing than it was before the full picture, and a reason why the formations have been given special names.
Usually also as a picture , but better as a figure , if a certain picture is set up as a starting formation before a throw. In this case, on the display board before the throw, the exact opposite image of that which you would accidentally receive after a throw on a full picture lights up, and knocking over exactly this formation becomes the desired goal, after which there is no more cone.
In bowling, figures are only used in training to practice the targeted “clearing” of certain frequently standing formations - such as the lighthouses - while in a competition a “full picture” alone forms the starting formation. On the other hand, in recreational bowling, the deliberate throwing of figures is at the center of some of the numerous "games". These are summarized under the term picture cones .
Starting formation
Full picturealso: full This picture is the starting line-up of "classic" bowling and sport bowling , but also of most recreational bowling games . The nine cones are set up in a diagonally arranged square with three cones on each side. The line 9 → 5 → 1 thus points to the player. 9

Name of the cone
The official names for Germany and Switzerland are in brackets after the common names . In contrast to this, women in Austria are officially called that. Regionally there are other names, such as "Halbe" instead of women in Saxony-Anhalt . |
Target formations
The wreath , in which exactly the middle cone (king) stops, is the best-known image of the bowling alongside the basic target formation Alle Neune . In a "clearing game with wreath scoring" a player receives a new full picture even after a wreath, in all other games only when all nine have been cleared. An exception is the little pastor , which occasionally forms a third target formation in special games of recreational bowling , after which a player or a team receives a full picture again .
All 9also: All nine Since all nine cones fell over, this is not a picture in the strict sense. •

Images (unwanted throw results)
As a game event, some of the throwing results listed here usually receive special recognition, in particular Kackstuhl, Stina and regicide. In special recreational skittles, the pastor can be rated separately as a third target formation , after which a player receives a new full picture.
Stinaalso: alley, heart, nail, stitch, step, bull, sausage Along with the poop chair, this picture is one of the most frequent throwing results that unintentionally get stuck after a throw in full force . •

Regicidealso: Kömo, king of the full To meet the king alone is not impossible from a full picture, but it is extremely improbable. (Not so with the next throw if the front wood is already missing.) 9
