Type of bowling **Nine-pin bowling** (also known as **ninepin bowling** , **nine-pin** , **kegel** , or **kegeln** ) is a [bowling](/ wiki/Bowling "Bowling") game played primarily in [Europe](/wiki/Europe "Europe"). European championships are held each year. Over 90,000 members are on teams in Germany, often playing in officially registered _Bundeskegelbahnen_ (association bowling alleys) to be found in almost every sizeable town. In Europe overall, there are some 130,000 players. Nine-pin bowling lanes are often found in [Austria](/wiki/Austria "Austria"), [Czechia](/wiki/Czech_Republic "Czech Republic"), [Slovakia](/wiki/Slovakia "Slovakia"), [ Belgium](/wiki/Belgium "Belgium"), [Germany](/wiki/Germany "Germany"), [Luxembourg](/wiki/Luxembourg "Luxembourg"), [the Netherlands](/wiki/The_Netherlands "The Netherlands" "), [Estonia](/wiki/Estonia "Estonia"), [Switzerland](/wiki/Switzerland "Switzerland"), [Serbia](/wiki/Serbia "Serbia"), [Slovenia](/wiki/Slovenia "Slovenia"), [Croatia](/wiki/Croatia "Croatia"), [Poland](/wiki/Poland "Poland"), [North Macedonia](/wiki/North_Macedonia "North Macedonia"), [Hungary]( /wiki/Hungary "Hungary"), [Brazil](/wiki/Brazil "Brazil") and [Liechtenstein](/wiki/Liechtenstein "Liechtenstein").
