# What's a code bowling challenge?

Code bowling is a challenge/competition to solve a particular (usually simple) problem in the most bytes or complexity. <sup>From [CGCC](https://codegolf.stackexchange.com/questions/tagged/code-bowling)</sup>

# Are there any additional criteria that can be added in a code bowling challenge?

Code golfing is the exact opposite of code bowling, so we can't use that. You can add additional criteria to make a challenge (slightly) harder. Take for example, [this challenge from CGCC that adds a criteria that the code should be irreducible](https://codegolf.stackexchange.com/questions/196824/biggest-irreducible-hello-world).
