A bowling alley is provided having a bowling lane bed which includes an approach, a foul line at one end, a pin deck at the other end and a plurality of lane support members below said bed as well as a pair of gutters running parallel to and abutting each side of the bowling lane bed. A deflection means is removably disposed longitudinally along both sides of said lane bed outside of said gutters for deflecting a bowling ball rolled down the lane. The deflection means prevents the ball from falling into the gutters. The deflection means extends along at least a portion of each side of said lane bed between the foul line and the pin deck. Upright pin support members are provided at each end of the deflection means. Each of the members is removably disposable at its lower end in a pin clamping means located below the lane bed and between the gutter and lane bed. Each of the deflection means is also removably supported substantially vertically above the lane bed by the pin members. A pin clamping means is mounted to a lane bed support member and includes at least one slot, and preferably two slots which are slidingly engageable with the pin member. The bowling alley can serve as a conventional alley when the deflection means and the pin members are removed and as a carom bowling alley when the deflection means are supported in place.
