Spare If you knock down all 10 pins using both shots of a frame, you get a spare. How to score: A spare earns 10 points plus the sum of your next one shot. Open Frame If you do not knock down all 10 pins using both shots of your frame 9 or fewer pins knocked down , you have an open frame.
How to score: An open frame only earns the number of pins knocked down. The 10th Frame The 10th frame is a bit different: If you roll a strike in the first shot of the 10th frame, you get 2 more shots. If you roll a spare in the first two shots of the 10th frame, you get 1 more shot.
If you leave the 10th frame open after two shots, the game is over and you do not get an additional shot. How to Score: The score for the 10th frame is the total number of pins knocked down in the 10th frame. Example Frame 1: You got a spare. Your score is 10 plus the number of pins you knock down in your next shot. In this case it is 5, so you have 15 points in Frame 1.
Frame 2: You have an open frame of 9 points. Add 9 to your previous score 15 , and you have 24 points in Frame 2. Frame 3: Another open frame of 9 points. Add 9 to your previous score, and you have 33 points in Frame 3. Frame 4: Strike! You earn 10 points plus your next two shots. The only exception is the last frame of the game, where you get to deliver an extra throw if you score a strike or a spare in that frame.
Put simply, your score is calculated by adding up the number of pins you knock down in each frame and keeping a tally, but this gets complicated when you factor in strikes and spares. You'll definitely have noticed your score getting a massive boost when you get a strike, but how exactly is this calculated? The reason your score isn't immediately updated when you get a strike is because your total for that frame is dependent on your next frame.
How it works is that following a strike, your score in the subsequent frame is added onto the 10 you got for the strike. A spare works in much the same way as a strike, but only adds the value of your first roll in the subsequent frame to your score of He is then allowed to take another shot, which he gains a strike, giving you 20 points for knocking down 20 pins during the entire frame. However, if Jack had failed to make the spare, he would not have been allowed to take another shot, giving him only 9 points for the entire frame.
And if Jack had made a strike in his first attempt, he would have been given two more shots. Anything less than another strike would give him the chance to score a spare and earn up to 20 points; while another strike could see him score up to 30 points by having a third and final shot.
