Scoring For most students, this tends to be the most difficult part to learn in bowling. Watch and predict your score to learn it quick! Basically, you add up the numbers per frame as you go. However, a few exceptions: 1) Spare: your next ball counts towards the current frame as well. e.g. Frame 1: spare (10), Frame 2: 7 + 2, The total score for frame 1 = 17 (10+7) 2) Strike: double reward! The total score of your next frame counts! e.g. Frame 1: strike (10), Frame 2: 7 + 2, The total score for frame 1 = 19 (10+7+2) If you roll 3 strikes in a row (Turkey), you would receive 30 points for your first frame. That is how it is possible to score 300 points in a 10-frame game! Here is an example of a scored game: The 3rd, 4th, 7th, 8th and 10th frames had spares. Remember that spares are 10 points plus the next ball bowled. That next ball counts twice; once in the spare frame and once again in the frame it was bowled. The 5th and 10th frames had strikes. Remember that that strikes are 10 points plus the next 2 balls bowled. Those next two balls count twice; once in the strike frame and once again in the frame they was bowled. The total score for this game was 133. The cumulative total frame by frame is at the bottom of each box. Random terminology to look up and explain! Brooklyn side - A hit on the wrong side of the headpin; i.e, the left side for a right-handed bowler, the right side for a lefty. Channels- The formal name for a gutter. The area to the right and left of the playing surface that catches a ball that rolls off the lane. Frame- One tenth of the game; each frame is numbered from 1 through 10; if you strike in the tenth you get a bonus frame (the 11th); if you strike again, you get another frame (the 12th).If you strike on the last ball (the 12th) the game is over, no additional bonus shots. Perfect Game- A score of 300, resulting from 12 consecutive strikes. Spare- Knocking all the pins with two balls. The score for that frame is 10 plus the number of pins knocked down with the first ball of the next frame. Split -A spare combination in which the head pin is down and the remaining pins have one or more intermediate pins down immediately ahead of or behind them. There are 459 possible split combinations. Triple or Turkey - Three consecutive strikes. Deuce- A game of 200 or more. Double - Two consecutive strikes in the same game.
