A split is a leave in tenpin bowling in which the first roll of a frame knocks down the front pin, the headpin, but leaves standing at least two non-adjacent groups of one or more pins. On scoreboards, a split may be denoted by highlighting the number of pins knocked down in a different color or encased in a circle.

It has gained the nickname "goal posts," "bedposts," or "snake eyes" due to the appearance. Due to the nature of the split being the two farthest pins of the pin deck, the split necessitates a pin to bounce and hit another pin in order to be converted. Various methods of achieving this include, after hitting a pin, having it bounce out of the pit area, bounce off the side wall, or clip a pin and slide it into the other, the last being incredibly rare. As a result, it is one of the most difficult splits to pick up. ==External links== Recorded 7–10 split conversions Mark Roth John Mazza Jess Stayrook Anthony Neuer Recorded 4–6–7–10 split conversions Walter Ray Williams, Jr.
