a "Strike"
If a bowler knocks down all 10 pins on the first delivery, it is called a "strike". If it takes two deliveries to knock all the pins down, it is called a "spare". If there are pins still standing after two deliveries, it is called an "open".
a strike is all 10 pins knocked down in one try a spare is all 10 pins knocked down in two consecutive tries in the same frame.
To knock all the pins down.
Strikes and spares are terms used in the game of bowling. A strike is when you knock all of the pins down in one shot. A spare is when you knock all of the pins down in two shots.
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.
A spare
a strike ( if you knock all the bowling pins down with one " throw " of the bowling ball )
remember, one turn consists of two throws. when you get a strike, that means that you knock down all of the pins in one throw, and one throw exactly. if you knock down all the pins on your first throw, you can't have another throw and your turn is over. when you get a spare, that means you took your two throws and knocked down ALL of the pins. for example, if you knock down four of the pins in your first throw and 6 pins on your next throw, you get a spare. but if you get 0 pins on your first throw and 10 pins on your second throw, that is also a spare, not a strike.
