UPDATE |
NCBCA Collegiate Lane Patterns Released (October 1, 2017). On
September 29, 2016, the
National Collegiate Bowling Coaches' Association (NCBCA) has released an
initial set of
14 different sport compliant lanes patterns: 4 long, 6 medium and 4 short.
The patterns are the result of three years of planning and discussion by the NCBCA and were developed through the efforts and technical expertise of
Kegel's John Janawicz and
Vincennes Head Coach
Gary Sparks.
On October 1, 2017, the NCBCA released two additional sport compliant
patterns: 1 medium and 1 short, bringing the total number to 16.
Coach Sparks also developed a set of
Pattern Ratings (docx)
aimed outlining the differences between the patterns using a scale of 1 to
10 on six important metrics: ratio, volume, foward/reverse, formats, surfaces and
difficulty. A Rating
Scale Key (docx) explains in detail the meaning of the 1 to 10 scale for
each of the six variables.
All of the lane patterns, pattern ratings and scale
key are available for download in a single
complete
package zip file.
If you have any questions concerning the 16 lane
patterns, their use in collegiate competition, the rating system or the
ratings scale used, please contact Coach Sparks
(gsparks@vinu.edu) for further
information.
