The minimum number of pins you would need to knock down to get a 260 would be 97: nine strikes in a row, followed by a 6-1 in the tenth frame.

Obviously, it's not the number of total pins that matter, but the number of strikes in a row; it's possible to knock down the same 97 pins and yet only score a 97 game.

The scoring for a strike in bowling is 10 plus the number of pins you knock down on the next two deliveries. If the first of those deliveries is another strike, you would get another 10. You would add to that (20) the number of pins you knock down on your next delivery. For example, if you knocked down 7 pins you would get 27 for the first strike (10 + 10 + 7) and for the second strike you would get 10 + 7 + the number of pins you knock down on your next delivery.

The force of a bowling ball is not always enough to knock down every pin because the distribution of force is not evenly spread across all the pins. The angle and speed at which the ball hits the pins, as well as the weight and shape of the ball, all play a role in determining how many pins will be knocked down.

How is bowling scored?

Each frame consists of two deliveries, unless you knock all 10 pins down on the first delivery, this is called a strike. If you knock them all down after the second delivery its a spare. In the tenth frame however, if you get a strike or spare, you get three deliveries. The total number of pins for each frame gets added together unless you roll a strike or spare. If you roll a strike its worth 10 plus what you get on your next 2 deliveries. A spare is worth 10 plus your next delivery. This means in a frame where there's a strike or spare the score for that frame can't be filled in until your next two or one deliveries have been thrown respectively.
