![]() Spares are worth the total points knocked down in their frame (all pins down equals 15 points) PLUS the value of pins knocked down by the bowler’s next delivery (in the next frame). ![]() Having bowled a Spare in the next frame, frame 8’s score cannot be tallied until the next delivery is made. So, the strike in frame 7 earned 30 points, which we add to the 55 points in frame 6 for a total of 85 points in frame 7. Added to this is the value of the next two balls (15 points recorded in frame 8… the first ball earned 5 and the spare ensured another 10). Firstly a strike in frame 7 is worth 15 points (all pins were knocked down). Now with 2 deliveries completed after the strike in the 7th frame we can go back and record the points earned in Frame 7. The “5” and “/” are marked in the appropriate first and second ball boxes at the top of the frame. Having Spared the frame a 3rd delivery is not required in the 8th frame. On her second ball in the 8th frame she knocks down all the remaining pins, bowling a SPARE (marked as “/”). Still we do not add in a score in the 7th frame as a Strike includes the next two deliveries. In frame 8 the bowler’s first delivery earns her 5 points. The total points are therefore left unmarked for now. Although the value of the 5 pins knocked down in the Strike is 15 points, these points are not added in just yet as the strike entitles the bowler to also add in the point value of her next 2 deliveries. When a Strike is bowled no further deliveries are made in that frame. In frame 7 she knocked down all the pins on her first shot, bowling a STRIKE (marked as “X”). These 8 points are added on to the 47 points in frame 5 and give the bowler a total of 55 points in the 6th frame. In frame 6 she got 5 points on the first delivery, 3 on the second and a miss (no pins hit) on the third, adding up to a total of 8 points for the frame. In frame 5 the bowler got 5 points on her first delivery, 2 points on her second shot and 5 on her third, a total of 12 points in the frame. Now that the point values are understood, the following example picks up a bowler’s progress in the 5th frame of a game. The picture below shows the name and value for each pin. Also key to understand scoring in the game is the point value of each of the pins.
