One way to get a score of 289 in Bowling is to spare the first frame, get strikes in frames 2 through 9, 2 strikes in the 10th frame and then a 9 count.

Another way of getting it is by getting the first nine strikes, first in the tenth then a nine count and the pick up

There are two general ways of bowling a 289 game:

1) Start with 10 strikes, then 9 count, and pick up the spare

2) Start with a spare, then 10 strikes, then a 9 on your last ball.

Within those general ways, there are many variations.

In the first, there are theoretically 10 different ways to get a 9-count on the 11th ball.

In the second, there are theoretically 1,023 ways to get a spare in the first frame, and 10 different ways to get a 9-count on the last ball.

In tenpin bowling, it's pretty hard as the bowler must throw 10 strikes in a row.

The only two ways I know of a tenpin bowler getting a 289 score is ...

1) Get a spare in the 1st frame, then throw 10 strikes in a row (from the 2nd frame through the second ball in the 10th frame), and then get a 9 count on the last ball in the tenth frame.

2) Throw 10 strikes in a row (1st frame through the first ball of the 10th frame), then get a 9 count with the second ball in the 10th frame and convert the spare with the third ball.

To score a 279 in 10 Pin Bowling, you would need to bowl a Spare in the first frame followed by 8 strikes & for the tenth frame you would need a Strike followed by a 9 spare as shown below.

9/, X, X, X, X, X, X, X, X, X, 9/

The score would show as this during the game
