Where to Bowl in Canada!

Interested in finding a candlepin bowling house in your area? Check out the list below. This list was derived from
the original "Where to Go Candlepin Bowling" page by Andrew Little, and republished with his permission.

Clicking a center's name will take you to that center's gallery page. And don't worry each center's page has a
Google Map, too. If the center has a website, the map will provide a link.

There are currently three different methods of
scoring in candlepin: automatic, semi-automatic,
and traditional. Automatic scoring is handled by
a computer system which monitors the number
of balls you've thrown and the number of pins
you've knocked down. While automatic scoring is
great for beginners, allowing them to be more
concerned with bowling than scoring, the
computer can make mistakes from time to time,
requiring corrections.

Semi-automatic scoring requires the bowler to
enter in the total number of pins knocked down
for each ball or box (depending on the system).
The computer does the math, but the bowlers are
required to make entries into the computer to get
the scores.

Traditional scoring is done either by pencil and
paper, or (in leagues and tournaments) on an
overhead projector unit, commonly known as a
telestrator.
