FAQ
How do you keep score on a bowling score sheet?
Each frame has small boxes where you record the pins knocked down on each individual roll. You mark any strikes and spares with their special symbols, then add the bonus pins from the following rolls in order to build up a running total across all ten frames of the game.
How are strikes and spares scored in bowling?
A strike, which is all ten pins on the first roll, scores ten plus the pins from your next two rolls. A spare, which is all ten knocked down across both rolls, scores ten plus the pins from your next single roll, rewarding a strong follow-up frame nicely.
How many frames are on a bowling score sheet?
A standard bowling score sheet has ten frames for each player on it. The first nine frames allow up to two rolls each, while the tenth frame allows a third roll whenever you bowl a strike or a spare, so the earned bonus pins can be properly counted.
