- The game consists of 10 frames as shown above. In each frame the player hastwo opportunities to knock down 10 pins. The score for the frame is the totalnumber of pins knocked down, plus bonuses for strikes and spares.A spare is when the player knocks down all 10 pins in two tries. The bonus forthat frame is the number of pins knocked down by the next roll. So in frame 3above, the score is 10 (the total number knocked down) plus a bonus of 5 (thenumber of pins knocked down on the next roll.)A strike is when the player knocks down all 10 pins on his first try. The bonusfor that frame is the value of the next two balls rolled.In the tenth frame a player who rolls a spare or strike is allowed to roll the extraballs to complete the frame. However no more than three balls can be rolled intenth frame.
