The regulations listed here are generally based around regulations set by the United States Bowling Congress and the British Tenpin Bowling Association. These rules are followed by all sanctioned leagues and events, such as tournaments. This is a Recreational Bowling league. The object to have fun, bowl well, and network with new friends. A game of bowling consists of ten frames.
In each frame, the bowler will have two chances to knock down as many pins as possible with their bowling ball. In games with more than one bowler, as is common, every bowler will take their frame in a predetermined order before the next frame begins. If a bowler is able to knock down all ten pins with their first ball, he is awarded a strike.
If the bowler is able to knock down all 10 pins with the two balls of a frame, it is known as a spare. Bonus points are awarded for both of these, depending on what is scored in the next 2 balls for a strike or 1 ball for a spare. If the bowler knocks down all 10 pins in the tenth frame, the bowler is allowed to throw 3 balls for that frame. This allows for a potential of 12 strikes in a single game, and a maximum score of points, a perfect game.
A handicap system will be used to determine team wins and losses for standings and playoff seeding. Each individual player's handicap will be used to calculate a team total for the week.
Handicaps adjust from week to week as more games are added to a player's average. This handicap is added to each player's "scratch" actual score to establish the totals. In general, one point is scored for each pin that is knocked over. So if a player bowls over three pins with the first shot, then six with the second, the player would receive a total of nine points for that frame.
If a player knocks down 9 pins with the first shot, but misses with the second, the player would also score nine. When a player fails to knock down all ten pins after their second ball it is known as an open frame. In the event that all ten pins are knocked over by a player in a single frame , bonuses are awarded. In this way, the points scored for the two balls after the strike are counted twice.
Frame 1, ball 1: 10 pins strike Frame 2, ball 1: 3 pins Frame 2, ball 2: 6 pins. Frame 1, ball 1: 10 pins strike Frame 2, ball 1: 10 pins strike Frame 3, ball 1: 4 pins Frame 3, ball 2: 2 pins. The most points that can be scored in a single frame are 30 points 10 for the original strike, plus strikes in the two subsequent frames.
A player who bowls a strike in the tenth final frame is awarded two extra balls so as to allow the awarding of bonus points. These bonus points do not count on their own; they only count as the bonus for the strike. A player achieving a spare is awarded ten points, plus a bonus of whatever is scored with the next ball only the first ball is counted.
It is typically rendered as a slash on score sheets in place of the second pin count for a frame. Frame 1, ball 1: 7 pins Frame 1, ball 2: 3 pins spare Frame 2, ball 1: 4 pins Frame 2, ball 2: 2 pins.
A player who bowls a spare in the tenth final frame is awarded one extra ball to allow for the bonus points. This would score the bowler exactly points. A tap occurs when the ball seems to hit the pins perfectly for a strike, but one pin is left upright for the possibility of a spare. Spares can be earned by knocking down any combination of pins, with two balls, that add up to ten.
A player can knock down five pins with the first ball and five with the second, or one pin with their first ball and nine with their second. Both of these combinations and any others would be considered spares. What is Bowling? Previous Next. Table of Contents.
