What is a frame in bowling?

Each game of bowling is made up of 10 frames, or sections. Each frame entitles the bowler up to two attempts to knock down all 10 pins. If the bowler knocks down all 10 in the first attempt, that is called a "strike" and his/her turn is over. If the bowler knocks down all the pins on their second attempt, the score is a spare and the frame is over. If the bowler scores a strike in the tenth frame, they get two "fill shots" or bonus balls. If the bowler scores a spare in the tenth frame, they get one fill shot.

In tenpin bowling what is a fill ball?

In tenpin bowling, there are ten frames (not 12) per game. The bowler has two shots per frame to knock all ten pins down. In the tenth frame, if the bowler knocks all ten pins down in his first shot (a strike), then he gets two more shots. These extra two shots are called "fill balls." They are not extra frames (sometimes erroneously referred to as the 11th and 12th frame).

First Response"Bowling originated in 5200 BC. Bowling is a very fun and educational sport. Timing is very important in bowling.Second Response:That would take a lot of verbiage to do. Click on the 'Rules of Bowling' link below to see the rules of the game along with links that will take you to more information about the game.Third Response:In its simplest form, bowling is a sport in which the participant, a bowler, has ten frames to score as many points out of 300 possible per game. There are ten frames total with two shots per frame. If the bowler knocks down all of the pins on the first shot, it is called a strike and the frame is over. If the bowler knocks down all of the pins on the second shot, it is called a spare and the frame is over. If the bowler strikes in the tenth frame, they get two extra fill balls (bonus shots).

What are the rules for nine ball pool?

First Answer:There are no special rules. If 9 pins drop it is considered a strike.Second Answer:When you throw your first ball and 9 pins fall, it will be automatically considered a strike.Third Answer:In No-Tap bowling, the bowler is given a strike for knocking down 9 pins on the first ball and does not bowl a second spare ball. This tends to even out the playing field somewhat between middle average and high average bowlers, also speeds up the game.Fourth Answer:No-tap is a type of game where a player gets credited with a strike if they knock down 9 pins on the first ball. The term 'tap' in bowling means the bowler threw a good ball on the first ball but left one pin standing. It doesn't make any difference, in no-tap, whether the first ball was a good one or not. As long as at least nine pins are knocked down, the bowler is credited with a strike.Fifth Answer:Ninepin No-Tap is a variation of tenpin bowling. The general rules are the same as they are for tenpin bowling. If a bowler knocks down nine pins on their first shot, it is scored as a strike. The pins are then reset and you move on to the next bowler/next frame. The bowler does not have to shoot a second shot. Knocking down all ten pins still counts as a strike also.


Why do they make bowling balls so darn heavy?

Momentum. A knowledgeable bowler knows that the ideal form requires no muscle to hold onto the ball (think of swinging a bucket full of water). The heavier the ball, the more pins it knocks down. Lighter balls tend to deflect to the side.
