How do you score exactly 250 in ten pin bowling?

Answer 1

# For a Strike take 10 plus the total pins knocked down on the next two shots. # For a Spare take 10 plus the total pins knocked down on next shot. # For any other shot, the score is the actual number of pins knocked down.

Basic Ten-pin Bowling Rules Scores and Guidlines:

Lets start with the scoring rules. The game of Ten Pin Bowling is split up into 10 frames, and each frame is split up into two shots. Each frame score is combined with the previous frames to give you a points total. There are special rules in the way that each frame is combined with the previous frames and will be described later.

A blank score sheet with a highlighted frame is shown below.

An example frame is contained within the blue box. The red box shows where your secondary shot for this frame is scored.

The following is an example of the very first frame with score.

The number seven on the right is the first shot at the pins. Obviously 7 pins were knocked down. The number two on the right was the second shot in the frame, and in this frame you try to "convert" the frame, or in other words knock the rest of the pins down. The number nine at the bottom is the combined score of the two shots. This score carries forward to the next frame and becomes part of the total score.

The following diagram shows the first three frames in this game.

So we have the 9 from the first frame carried forward. Looking at the second frame we can see that the first shot got 6 pins and the second shot was a spare marked with a /. A spare means that the very next shot can also be added to this frames score (think of it as a bonus). The next frames first shot was a 7, so for the second frames pin total we need to add 9 from the previous frames (in this case one frame), 10 from the second frame and 7 from the third frame. This gives a second frame total of 26. The third frame was not converted and so only the pins from the third frame are added to the previous frames total. This now gives us a score of 35 in the third frame.

The scoring continues until 10 frames have been played, remembering that in the 10th frame a strike would give two more bowls and a spare gives one more bowl.

The maximum that can be scored in any one game is 300. For this the player would have to strike 10 times for the 10 frames and then because the last frame strike allows two more bowls, these two should also be strikes making 12 in total

Answer 3

Bowling is scored bow how many pins you can knock down.

A game is broken up into 10 frames. Each frame may have up to two (2) deliveries, in which you roll the ball down the lane, and up to three (3) in the tenth frame.

If you get a strike, which is to knock down all ten (10) pins on your first delivery of a frame, you receive 10 points plus the points of the next two (2) deliveries. If you get a strike, that is the only delivery you make for that frame.

If you do not know over all the pins on the first delivery you are allowed a second. If you know over the remaining pins on the second delivery this is referred to as a spare. With a spare you get 10 points plus the points from the next one (1) deliver.

If you fail to know over all the pins in the two (2) deliveries, this is referred to as an open and you will only receive the points for the pins you knocked down.

The highest game able to be thrown is a 300 which consist of twelve (12) consecutive strikes in one game.

Answer 4

Let's get more general -- here's how to score any situation in bowling: There are 3 possibilities each frame, a strike (all 10 pins down on one ball), a spare (all 10 pins down on 2 balls) or an open or miss (pin or pins remaining standing after 2 balls). The simplest is the open -- however many pins are knocked down that frame are added to your running total. The highest possible game if all frames are open is 90 -- getting 9 pins each of the 10 frames. For a spare, the total for the frame is 10 (the total pins knocked that frame), PLUS what is knocked down on the next ball thrown. For example, if my running score was 60 after the 3rd frame, then in the 4th frame, I get 7 pins on my first ball and the remaining 3 pins on the second ball (no matter what combination they are in), I have achieved a spare. At this point, the score for the 4th frame is incomplete. When I bowl in the 5th frame, let's say I knock down 9 pins. Now (before attempting the 5th frame spare), I can calculate my total for 4th frame. It will be 10 plus 9, which equals 19 (the total pins knocked down in the 4th plus the pins knocked down on my first ball in the 5th). The 19 pins for the 4th frame is added to my total in the 3rd, 60, to come up with 79, which will be entered in the box for the fourth frame. A strike has different, though somewhat similar scoring -- the total in a frame that a strike is thrown is 10 (the pins knocked down in the strike), PLUS what is knocked down in the next TWO balls. Again, if I have 60 after the 3rd frame and I get a strike in the 4th frame, my score for the 4th is incomplete. I won't know my score until the 5th or possibly even 6th frame. If in the 5th frame, I roll 6 on the first ball and 2 on the second ball, that is a total of 8 pins. Before I can add 8 to my score for the 5th, I have to calculate the 4th frame score. With a strike in the 4th, we add the next two balls -- 6 and 2 -- to come up with 10 plus 6 plus 2, or 18, for the 4th. Added to 60 in the 3rd, I now have 78 in the 4th. If in the 5th frame, I roll 7 on the first ball and 3 on the second ball, that is a spare. With the strike in the 4th, I add 10 plus 7 plus 3, or 20, for the 4th. Added to 60 in the 3rd, I know have 80 in the 4th. I think where people tend to get tripped up is with a "double" -- two strikes in a row. Staying with our example, I have 60 after the 3rd frame. Then I throw a strike in the 4th. Again, a score can't yet be calculated until TWO more balls are rolled. In the 5th, I roll another strike. At this point, I still can't calculate my score in the 4th -- that's because I've only thrown ONE more ball after my 4th-frame strike. So my scoresheet will still just say "60" in the 3rd frame. It isn't until I throw my first ball in the 6th frame that a score can be calculated for the 4th frame. Let's say I get 8 on my first ball in the 6th. Now we can take care of the 4th -- it will 10 (the strike in the 4th) plus 10 (the strike in the 5th) plus 8 (the first ball in the 6th) for a total of 28. Added to 60 in the 3rd, I now have 88 in the 4th. If instead, I roll strikes in the 4th, 5th and 6th frames, I will receive the maximum possible 30 pins for the 4th -- 10 plus the next two balls, which are 10 for the 5th-frame strike and 10 for the 6th-frame strike. Added to our 60 in the 3rd, the score is 90 in the 4th. Because of this scoring system, if a strike or spare is recorded to start the 10th frame, a 3rd ball must be thrown to complete the scoring for the frame. It's calculated exactly the same way as in any other frame. A perfect 300 comes from earning 30 pins in each of the 10 frames, and the only way that is possible is roll a strike in each of the first 9 frame. In order to earn 30 pins in the 10th frame, a strike must be thrown on the first, second and third shots of that frame, which would be the 10th, 11th and 12th consecutive strikes in the game.

Answer 5

1. Pick up bowling ball

2. Walk up the approach

3. Stop before the foul line

5. If some pins remain, wait for ball to return and try to knock over remaining pins

6. Complete steps 1-5 for 10 frames, if you strike or spare on the 10th frame then you will have another go

Answer 6

well,you pick up the round ball throw at the right things and keep it on the lanes
