Best Answer

A split is an arrangement where there are separate standing pins, or groups of pins, with pins between them having been knocked down by the first ball rolled. The most extreme separation would exist when only the 7 pin (leftmost on rear row) and the 10 pin (rightmost on rear row) are left standing, e.g. a 7-10 split. There may be more than one way to knock down all of the remaining pins to complete a "spare" with the second ball. To do so is to "make the split."

According to rule 2h of the United States Bowling Congress (USBC):

A split is a setup of pins left standing after the first delivery, provided the head pin is down and at least one other pin is down:

1. Between two or more standing pins; e.g., 7-9 or 3-10.

2. Immediately ahead of two or more standing pins; e.g., 5-6.

Is there any glitches in Kinect Sports in bowling?

There is some glitches in bowling. There was one time where I was going bowling on that & guess what, after one stage it was almost a split but that other pin fell down. Then when the pins were loading to get the spare, that pin came back up & I said "What the heck just happened?" So... Quick ending for this is they're glitches & lags in bowling & for other games on Kinect Sports.
