COCKED HAT


Meaning of COCKED HAT in English

bowling game played on a standard tenpin lane with three tenpins and a duckpin ball (45 inches [1012.5 cm] in diameter). The pins are set 36 inches apart at the three corners of a normal tenpin formation. Two balls are allowed per frame, and scoring is as in tenpin bowling, except that 3 instead of 10 plus the total felled with the next two balls is the maximum score per frame. Thus, a perfect game is 90 instead of 300.
