3–7 split (or 2–10) Similar to a 5–7 split, but since the 3-pin is two rows ahead of the further from the 7-pin, the ball must hit the right side of the 3-pin at a slight angle. Baby split or Murphy (2–7 or 3–10) This is the easiest split to convert since there are two options: A) sliding the 2-pin into the 7-pin; B) deflecting the ...
In total 39 hand patterns are possible, but only 13 of them have an a priori probability exceeding 1%.

Jess Stayrook. Jess Stayrook (born 1959) is an American professional bowler. He is mainly known for being the third bowler to convert the 7-10 split on television after John Mazza (1991) and Mark Roth (1980). Stayrook's conversion took place during a tournament televised on ESPN in Tucson, Arizona in 1991. Stayrook earned his first PBA national ...
At first glance, it may seem that the odds are now even, 1:1, so that South should expect to do equally well with either of the two possible continuations.

Swiss-system tournament. A Swiss-system tournament is a non-eliminating tournament format that features a fixed number of rounds of competition, but considerably fewer than for a round-robin tournament; thus each competitor (team or individual) does not play all the other competitors. Competitors meet one-on-one in each round and are paired ...
This marks the third split in the company's history since going public in June 1998, and is its largest forward split, following a 2-for-1 forward split in January 2000 and a 1-for-10 reverse ...
Mazza is most notable, however, for being the second player (and first left-hander) to convert the nearly-impossible 7–10 split on national television. Mark Roth was the first to make this split on TV (in 1980), and Jess Stayrook accomplished the feat shortly after Mazza during the same season (1991). The split would not be converted again on ...
