Bowl competition is a brand new game to our players. Hitting a target ball by throwing another on a carpet, 18.29 centimeters long and 3.66 centimeters wide is the basic rule for this game. If the player wants to get top score, he or she has to stand far away from the ball and finally hits it, the farther, the better.

Spotlight of the game:

What’s special here? The rules which are rather unique on earth for the “players” aim to encourage these special people to face their lives bravely. Everyone no matter what you have done could get the award.
