Position within the IBF

The WNBA holds the position of a disciplinary association and is thus an independent organ within the IBF. The WNBA is responsible for disseminating nine-pin bowling all over the world and to acquire more nations as members of the WNBA.[2]

Given the fact that there are three different kinds of nine-pin bowling lanes, there are three respective disciplinary associations within the WNBA, so-called sections.

Classic

Classic lanes are the most similar ones to ten-pin bowling lanes. They have a wide, flat ball rolling surface.

Bohle

Bohle (German for “plank”) lanes have a narrow, concave ball rolling surface.

Schere

Schere (German for “scissors”) lanes have a narrow, concave ball rolling surface until about the midpoint of the lane. After that, the lane widens linearly to the width of Classic lanes, resembling a pair of opened scissors.
