Splits in Candlepin Bowling

As in the tenpin game, splits can also occur in the New England-centered sport of candlepin bowling. As candlepin bowling uniquely allows the use of fallen "dead wood" pins to remain on the lane to be used in assisting the felling of standing pins for spare and split conversions, still the most notable split in the candlepin sport is the dreaded "spread eagle", the six-pin leave made up of the 2-3-4-6-7-10 combination.
