In bowling on the 10th frame do you get a third try if you get a spare?

If the spare comes on the second ball of the frame, you get an extra ball to finish the game. If the spare comes on the third ball of the frame (meaning the first ball of the frame was a strike) you do not get an extra ball.


What does an extra frame mean in bowling?

In bowling, an 'extra frame' has three possible meanings:1) It's a slang term for the extra ball(s) a bowler throws in the tenth frame following a strike or spare: one extra ball following a spare, and two following a strike. (The more correct term for this is a 'fill ball'.)2) It can also mean a one-frame roll-off following a tie score, in a situation where the tie has to be broken (such as for determining a league champion).3) And it's another way to refer to the bowling alley's bar, in the same way that golfers use the term '19th Hole' to mean 'meeting up for drinks at the clubhouse after we're done'.

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).
