There are ten ''frames'' per standard game of bowling.  A frame can be compared to an [[inning]] in the sport of [[baseball]].  When a ball is thrown and all ten pins fall, it is called a [[Strike (bowling)|strike]], indicated as an ''X'' on the scoring sheet.  When all ten pins are knocked over in two balls it is called a [[Spare (bowling|spare]], indicated as a ''/''.  If in two balls the bowler fails to knock over all ten pins, it is referred to as an ''open frame'' and he/she is awarded the number of pins knocked down in that frame.  In the case of a strike, he/she is awarded 10 points plus however many pins you knock over in your next two throws.  For a spare, the scoring is 10 plus the pins in your next throw.
