There is a very long list of bowlers in the IBHOF who have bowled a sanctioned 300 game.
The number of 300 games bowled each year can vary significantly based on factors such as the number of active bowlers, the popularity of bowling leagues, and the conditions of the lanes. On average, in the United States alone, it is estimated that over 30,000 sanctioned 300 games are bowled annually. This number may fluctuate, but it reflects the achievement's accessibility with advancements in bowling techniques and equipment.

There are no rules pertaining to the number of games a league bowls each session / week. By default, three games are bowled. Some youth leagues will only offer two or one games for very young bowlers.
It is suppose to be filled out and paid for prior to bowling. Technically, games bowled prior to payment and card completion could be forfeited in a sanctioned league.
The sanctioned ABC 300 games or 800 series scores bowled can be found at the USBC International Bowling Museum and Hall of Fame in Arlington, TX.
Only games bowled under a sanctioned league may receive recognition by the sanctioning organization that the league sanctioned with. For example, if the league is based in the US and did not sanction in USBC then scores will not be recognized for any USBC awards, including the 300 ring. Even if bowlers who are members of a non-sanctioned league bowl a 300, they can not qualify for any USBC awards if the league did not sanction.
It depends on if you are speaking of sanctioned 300 games by ABC, WIBC and/or YABA or by the PBA. For the earlier, you would need to check the International Bowling Museum / Hall of Fame in Arlington, TX for that data.
Unfortunately there is no way to know this number precisly. USBC has a record of all sanctioned 300's in America, however this do not include 300's bowled for fun or practice or in unsanctioned leagues and tournaments, or before the establishment of USBC. So theres no definite answer.
With the advent of high-tech bowling balls and forgiving lane oil patterns, tens of thousands of perfect 300 games are bowled every year. While a good number of them are bowled by people who have already done so at least once, there are still several thousand first-time 300s bowled each year. In fact, as of April 2010, 15 people have officially bowled a 900 series -- which is three 300 games back-to-back in the same league or tournament session. (The actual number of 900s bowled is over 20, but only 15 have been recognized by the USBC.) Fun fact: in duckpin and candlepin bowling, two variations of the sport, no 300s have ever been rolled.
Jim Hosier has bowled 112 perfect games in his career.
The database for 300 games in bowling is typically maintained by the United States Bowling Congress (USBC). This organization keeps records of perfect games bowled by individuals in sanctioned leagues or tournaments. The database includes details such as the bowler's name, date of the 300 game, and the bowling center where it was achieved. Bowlers can also track their personal 300 games in apps or software designed for recording bowling statistics.
