If you get a spare in the tenth frame, the extra shot you get is sometimes called the eleventh frame. If your first shot in the tenth frame is a strike, your next shot is sometimes refereed to as the eleventh frame and your final shot is sometimes called the twelfth frame.
If you strike in the 10th frame, you get two bonus balls, called "fill shots." If you spare in the 10th frame you get one fill shot.
If you did it in one try it's a strike. If you did it in two it's a spare.
It is different because if you strike in the 10th frame, you get two bonus shots called "fill shots" or "fill balls." If you spare in the 10th frame, you get one fill shot.
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.
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.

30 points added to the 9th frame scoreIf you made a spare in the 9th frame the first ball thrown in the 10th frame would be added to the 9th frame. If you threw a strike in the 9th frame the first two balls trown in the 10th would be added to the 9th. If you threw a strike in both the 8th and 9th frames, the first ball in the 10th would be added to the 8th frame as well. Three Strike in the 10th frame is 30 points added to the 9th frame score.
3 if you get two strikes or a spare. otherwise, only two.
The only split that can't be made is the third ball thrown in the tenth frame, to which the frame is completed and a spare can not be attempted. Any other time, all pin combination of splits can be picked up for a spare.
