In a three game series, the highest score achievable without throwing a 300 game would be 897 (299 + 299 + 299 = 897).
It is not a known statistic, however for USBC, you can compare the list of names of who bowled a 300 and how many bowled an 800 and then how many of those who bowled an 800 had a 300.
70
Jim Hosier has bowled 112 perfect games in his career.
300 is the highest you can bowl. the only reason it would be higher is if the person has handicap which would be added to the scratch score
As of 4-13-2015, the number of 300 games Bob Learn has bowled is 115.
225
I don't believe this statistic is kept. The list of 300 games can be found at the Hall of Fame Bowling Museum in Arlington, TX
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.
There is a very long list of bowlers in the IBHOF who have bowled a sanctioned 300 game.
tyler selmont.. he has 451 300 games and 213 800 series
Many people have bowled a 300 game. About 26,000 people a year. You can check the USBC website for a listing of sanctioned 300 game bowlers.
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.
