9-pin no-tap bowling rules: the BAIQ fun-game format

10 October 2026 · BAIQ

How 9-pin no-tap works at BAIQ: nine pins on the first ball count as a strike. Fun-game scores stay separate from league standings.

THE FORMAT · FUN GAME RULES

9 pins. One strike. More fun. 📌

Knock down 9 pins on your first ball and it counts as an automatic strike.
No second ball is needed after that no-tap strike.
Other standard bowling rules remain unchanged.
This is a fun, non-league event. Scores do not count towards overall league standings.

Event rule highlights shared by Fahmi. Fun-game awards are published separately from league awards, without the league’s 24-hour review period.
