Bowling Rules

• The goal is to knock down all ten pins


• Each frame consists of throwing the ball twice to knock down all the pins
• If you knock down all the pins with the first ball, it is called a "strike"
• If you knock down all the pins with the second ball, it is called a "spare"
• Each games consists of ten frames. If you bowl a strike in the tenth frame, you get
two more balls. If you throw a spare, you get one more ball.
• Open frames are frames without a strike or spare
• Scoring is based on the number of pins you knock down. However, if you bowl a
spare, you get to add the pins in your next ball to that frame. For strikes, you get
the next two balls.
• An average of three games is played. You determine a 3 game average by adding
all 3 scores and then dividing that number by 3.
• Accurate preliminary scores are essential for fair divisioning.

count towards your score.
