Isn't a spare and then a strike the same thing as getting 2 strikes in a row?

No... with a spare you will add 10 plus the next ball rolled to get your score for that frame. A strike you will add 10 plus the next 2 balls rolled to score that frame. The maximum frame score you can receive for a spare would be 20. If you rolled a strike for next ball after your spare. The maximum for a strike would be 30. If you rolled 2 strikes in your next 2 balls after you strike.

What is the highest score a bowler can get in any one frame?

300 points are the maximum a bowler can score in a single game. This can only be achieved by getting nothing but strikes.My response:The highest score a bowler can get for any one frame is 30. If a person throws a strike, it is worth 10 pins, plus the next two shots. If he throws three strikes in a row, the frame of the first strike is worth 10 pins, plus 10 pins for the next strike, plus 10 pins for the third strike.


Is it called a turkey when you score a strike with a second ball in bowling?

How many points is a stroke worth in bowling?

Do you mean "strike"? A strike is worth 10 pins plus the pins on the next two deliveries. So, if a bowler gets a strike in the first frame we can't assign a score until he bowls again. If he gets a spare in the second frame (i.e., 10 pins on two balls), then he would get a score of 20 back in the first.
