This is the official page of the International Candlepin Bowling Association. Candlepin Bowling is the official game of bowling for New England, and the Canadian Maritimes. It's so much fun, and different! We use 4.5" bowling balls and 15 3/4" tall skinny pins (3" wide). In Candlepin you get 3 balls per turn, and do not clear wood between shots, any wood on the deck is used in play to hel

p knock down pins. Candlepin bowling is not a game of strikes, but more of a game of spares, with some strikes. A 300 game has never been achieved in Candlepin. A pro Candlepin bowler scores an average of at least 112/Men 102/Women.
