What is a split in bowling?
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.

What are the names of the pins in ten-pin bowling?
7.....8.....9.....10 ...4.....5.....6 .......2.....3 ...........1 Professional bowler Earl Anthony, who held the record for career titles until about 2007, once said as a color analyst on a bowling telecast, "Call the pins by their number, not by their name." He meant that many bowlers had colorful (or more exactly, off-color) names for the pins that remained standing, usually on what looked like a hit that should have knocked them all down. Otherwise, the 1-pin, in the front center of the triangle of pins, is called the head pin. The 7 and 10 pins are "corner pins", being in the other corners of a full rack of pins. According to another pro Hall of Fame announcer, Nelson "Bo" Burton, in the fall of 2008, he said that Latin players call the 8 or 9 pin a "ghost" pins if either remains standing after what looks like a good strike pocket hit -- i.e., between the 1 and 3 pins for a righthander, or 1 and 2 pins for a lefthander, assuming they throw like the vast majority of players who hook the ball from right to left as a righthander or left to right as a lefthander.
