==Scoring==
==Scoring==
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]]. When all ten pins are knocked over in two balls it is called a [[Spare (bowling|spare]]. 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.

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.
A perfect game in bowling is 300.
In all frames but the tenth, you have 2 chances to hit the ten pins. If you get all ten in one throw, you move to the next frame. In the tenth frame there are extra opportunities to hit more pins:
*if the bowler throws a strike on the first ball,
*if the bowler throws a strike on the first two balls, and
*if the bowler throws a spare on the first two balls.
A perfect game in bowling is 300, which is 12 strikes in a row.
