To enter a “spare” input the number of pins you knocked down on the first throw then put a (/) forward slash in the second box of that frame. To enter a “strike” place an “X” in the box and leave the second box for that frame empty. To use our bowling score calculator simply enter the number of pins you knocked down on each throw of the frame for all ten frames. If you bowled a spare and knocked down 5 pins for the next throw then you would get 15 points for the frame where you bowled a spare. If you bowl a “spare”, then you get 10 points for the frame and your next throw is added to it. If you throw all strikes then you would score 30 points per frame for a perfect score of 300. If you bowl a “strike”, then you score 10 points for the throw and the next two throws are added to it. If you knock down the remaining pins with your second throw then you threw a “spare.” This is usually represented by a (/) forward slash. If you still have pins standing after the first throw, then you throw a second ball. If you knock down all ten pins on the first throw then you threw a “strike.” This is usually represented by the letter “X” and you do not throw a second ball since you already knocked down all ten pins. You have two throws per frame to try to knock down all ten pins. This is where you throw a bowling ball down a lane trying to knock over ten bowling pins that are set up at the other end.

The score in frame #10 is always the total number of pins knocked down. Since the bowler got a strike, they get to roll two more times. We can calculate frame #9 by taking frame #8 (128) + 10 +10 for 148. The bowler’s total score is 128.įrame #10: The bowler rolls a strike. The bowler makes another spare, but we wait to calculate the running total for frame #9. The bowler’s total score is 114.įrame #9: The bowler rolls a 4. The bowler’s total score is 114.įrame #8: The bowler rolls a 6 and then a 4 for a spare! We wait to calculate the running total until the next roll is done. On the second roll, the bowler rolls a 3, so we can calculate frame #6 by adding 88 +10+5+3 for 106. We can calculate frame #5 by taking the running score from frame #4 (63) and adding 10+10+5 for 88. The bowler’s total score is 63.įrame #7: The bowler rolls a 5 on the first roll. On a strike, we always add the next rolls. We can finally calculate frame #4 - we take 33 from frame #3 and add 10 for the first strike and 10 for the second strike, and finally 10 for the third strike for a total of 63. The bowler’s total score is 33.įrame #6: The bowler earns another strike. We still need to wait to calculate the running score for frame #4 and frame #5.
