Top 10 Rules Of Bowling

Bowling is a fun and entertaining sport that consists of rolling a heavy ceramic ball down a lane with the ultimate goal of knocking down as many pins as possible. Tenpins is the most common form of bowling that is found in the United States, Canada, Australia, and Latin America. Below we will cover the most important rules of bowling.

1. There are 10 frames in a game

In bowling, there are 10 frames in each game. A frame is composed of each bowler taking one turn, with a maximum of two rolls. However, in the tenth frame, each bowler gets a maximum of three rolls depending how successful they are in their first two. The total number of frames is important as, unlike many other sports, there is no game clock in bowling. The lack of a game clock makes it especially important to always be ready to take your turn, as bowling matches could theoretically go for hours on end.

2. Release the ball from behind the foul line

When bowling, the bowler must release the ball from behind the foul line and allow the ball to roll over the line into the lane of play. This rule means that when casual bowlers throw the ball over the foul line, they are technically breaking the rules of the game. If this rule is broken, the pins that are knocked down are discounted and no longer count towards the bowler’s score. The ball still counts but no points are earned.

3. Cannot cross the foul line

While playing in a bowling match, the bowler may not cross the foul line at any time. If they do cross the foul line, the roll will be taken away. No matter what, even if a player's foot just barely touches the line, it is considered a fault and the ball does not count. This is similar to basketball, in which a player may not step over the line while taking a foul shot or how in soccer a player may not cross the line that the referee creates during a free kick. The roll still counts, but instead of counting for the number of pins that were knocked down, it is recorded as bowling a zero. The bowler has to be constantly aware of where they are in relation to the line and be careful that they do not stop on the foul line when they bowl.

4. The ball cannot come out of the gutter

Although it isn’t a common occurrence, a ball may occasionally be rolled in the gutter and manage to bounce out and knock down some pins. Most recreational bowlers will see this as a lucky break, however, it is actually against the rules in competitions, and the pins that were knocked over will not count towards the bowler’s score. This is because the gutter is considered out of bounds and once the ball is out of bounds, it cannot come back in. The roll no longer counts and any pins that were knocked over are put back up. Even though this is very rare, it is a crucial rule in competitive bowling that keeps players from debating the legitimacy of their opponents' rolls.

5. The ball cannot be altered during the game

During any bowling match, a bowler may not alter their ball in any way. However, they can change it before and after each game. This is to avoid cheating and prevent bowlers from using substances that may alter the ball to give them an unfair advantage during the game. Some bowlers will polish their bowling balls beforehand in order to make them shiny and smooth on one side and rough on the other. This can help to make the ball spin better. Any alterations to bowling balls must be done before the match starts, or the bowler may be disqualified in competitive matches.

6. The maximum score is 300

Keeping Score     Even though automatic scores are used, it's important that you know how to keep score. While learning to do the math on paper is a bit old school, this information is valuable during competitions, when the game is close, and it will help you know what is needed to get the win. To start, below is the basic layout of a frame:   This is a frame         You get to roll the ball 2 times in one frame, unless you get a strike           In ten-pin bowling, there are 10 frames in 1 game.   Scoring Symbols   Strike   A strike is marked when you knock down all the pins with your first roll. A strike gives you extra pins as a bonus. You do not add up the score for this frame until you have rolled the ball two more times.   Spare A spare is marked when you knock down all the pins with two rolls. A spare gives you extra pins as a bonus, too. You do not add up the score for this frame until you have rolled the ball one more time.   Miss or Open If you roll the ball into the gutter on the first roll, it means no pins were hit. Remember, you have two rolls per frame so you still have a chance to knock down some pins or maybe you might knock them all down and get a spare. If you knock down eight pins on your first roll and then you miss the two pins that were standing on the second roll, that also is a miss and you only get to add the eight pins you knocked down to your score.   Frame-by-Frame Scoring Walk-Through Using a completed scoring sheet below, let's walk through how this was game scored from start to finish:   1st Frame Roll #1 – Athlete knocks down 8 pins. Roll #2 – Athlete misses the 2 pins left standing, for a score of 8 in the first frame. 2nd Frame Roll #1 – Athlete knocks down 5 pins. Roll #2 – Athlete knocks down the 5 pins left standing for a spare. We won't write anything in the second frame until the next roll.  3rd Frame Roll #1 – Athlete knocks down 3 pins; now the score for the second frame goes in. How do you do this? Simply add the 8 from the first frame, plus 10 for the spare in the second frame plus the 3 pins that were knocked down on the first roll in the third frame: 8+10+3 = 21. Roll #2 – Athlete knocks down 5 of the 7 pins that were left standing, so the total for the third frame is 29 (21+8 = 29). 4th Frame Roll # 1 – Athlete knocks down 8 pins. Roll # 2 – Athlete knocks down 1 of the 2 left standing, so the score in the fourth frame is 38 (29+9= 38). 5th Frame Roll #1 – Athlete knocks down 7 pins. Roll #2 – Athlete knocks down 1 of the 3 pins left standing, so the score in the fifth frame is 46 (38+8 = 46). 6th Frame Roll #1 – Athlete knocks down all 10 pins for a strike, so mark an X. Roll #2 – Since the athlete knocked them all down on the first roll, they do not get to roll again until the next frame. 7th Frame Roll #1 –Athlete knocks down 9 pins but you must wait to add the score for the sixth frame since the athlete gets one more roll before that happens. Roll#2 – The athlete knocks the pin down for a spare, so the score for the sixth frame is 66; the 46 plus 10 for the strike, then 10 for the next two rolls: 46+10+10 = 66. 8th Frame Roll #1 – Athlete knocks down all 10 pins for a strike, mark an X and a score of 86 goes into the seventh frame: 66+10+10 = 86. Roll #2 – No roll, cannot add score yet 9th Frame Roll #1 – Athlete knocks down all 10 pin for another strike, mark an X. Roll #2 – No roll, cannot add score yet. 10th Frame Roll #1 – Athlete knocks down 8 pins, since strikes count 10 plus the next two rolls, a score of 114 gets marked in the eighth frame. Here is how it works: After the strike in the eighth, the first roll was a strike in the ninth frame and the second roll was the 8 pins knocked down in the 10th frame (86+10+10+8 = 114). Roll #2 – Athlete knocks down the two pins standing for a spare, which is the second roll for the strike that was rolled in the ninth frame so 20 (10+10) gets added to the 114 for a score of 134 in the ninth frame. Since the athlete got a spare they get one more bonus roll. Roll #3 – Athlete knocks down 6 pins, now 16 (10+6) pins are added to the 134 for a total score of 150. Here are a few practice frames for you to try. If you calculated the totals to be, [8,17] [19, 28] [4, 12, 20] [39, 48, 9] [29, 58 then you are correct! Fill in the score

Bowling Rules

Sportsmanship 

Being competitive on the field is applauded & encouraged in all of our leagues! It is also important to understand that there is a fine line between being competitive & being unsportsmanlike. All players and referees should treat one another with respect on the field & after the game. Everyone has to go to work tomorrow, so please keep safety & sportsmanship in mind out there!

Inclusivity

Every individual participating in a Players Sport & Social Group program may compete as a member of the gender that they identify with, regardless of their gender at birth. We expect all players to be respectful and honor the spirit of this policy. We are LGBTQIA+ friendly (Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, Queer, Questioning, Intersex, Asexual and other sexualities and gender identities/expressions).

We have found that open communication between teams is super helpful. If there is a situation that may raise some questions from opposing teams, captains are encouraged to have a quick conversation with our umpire/official before the game to ensure everyone is on the same page. At the end of the day, inclusivity is key.

Game Play

The regulations listed here are generally based around regulations set by the United States Bowling Congress and the British Tenpin Bowling Association. These rules are followed by all sanctioned leagues and events, such as tournaments. This is a Recreational Bowling league.  The object to have fun, bowl well, and network with new friends.

  Rules of play

A game of bowling consists of ten frames. In each frame, the bowler will have two chances to knock down as many pins as possible with their bowling ball. In games with more than one bowler, as is common, every bowler will take their frame in a predetermined order before the next frame begins. If a bowler is able to knock down all ten pins with their first ball, he is awarded a strike. If the bowler is able to knock down all 10 pins with the two balls of a frame, it is known as a spare. Bonus points are awarded for both of these, depending on what is scored in the next 2 balls (for a strike) or 1 ball (for a spare). If the bowler knocks down all 10 pins in the tenth frame, the bowler is allowed to throw 3 balls for that frame. This allows for a potential of 12 strikes in a single game, and a maximum score of 300 points, a perfect game.

  Handicap

A handicap system will be used to determine team wins and losses for standings and playoff seeding. Each individual player's handicap will be used  to calculate a team total for the week. Handicaps adjust from week to week as more games are added to a player's average. The handicap is calculated by subtracting the player's average from 200 and then taking 80% of that total. This handicap is added to each player's "scratch" (actual) score to establish the totals. The handicap total is calculated after all games for the week are played and then the scores are adjusted to reflect the new total and then wins/losses are determined for the standings.

  Scoring

In general, one point is scored for each pin that is knocked over. So if a player bowls over three pins with the first shot, then six with the second, the player would receive a total of nine points for that frame. If a player knocks down 9 pins with the first shot, but misses with the second, the player would also score nine. When a player fails to knock down all ten pins after their second ball it is known as an open frame.

In the event that all ten pins are knocked over by a player in a single frame, bonuses are awarded.

A ten-pin bowling score sheet showing how a strike is scored:

Strike: When all ten pins are knocked down with the first ball (called a strike and typically rendered as an “X” on a score sheet), a player is awarded ten points, plus a bonus of whatever is scored with the next two balls. In this way, the points scored for the two balls after the strike are counted twice.Frame 1, ball 1: 10 pins (strike)Frame 2, ball 1: 3 pinsFrame 2, ball 2: 6 pins

The total score from these throws is:

Frame one: 10 + (3 + 6) = 19Frame two: 3 + 6 = 9

TOTAL = 28

A player who scores multiple strikes in succession would score like so:

Frame 1, ball 1: 10 pins (strike)Frame 2, ball 1: 10 pins (strike)Frame 3, ball 1: 4 pinsFrame 3, ball 2: 2 pins

The score from these throws are:

Frame one: 10 + (10 + 4) = 24Frame two: 10 + (4 + 2) = 16Frame three: 4 + 2 = 6

TOTAL = 46

The most points that can be scored in a single frame are 30 points (10 for the original strike, plus strikes in the two subsequent frames).

A player who bowls a strike in the tenth (final) frame is awarded two extra balls so as to allow the awarding of bonus points. If both these balls also result in strikes, a total of 30 points (10 + 10 + 10) is awarded for the frame. These bonus points do not count on their own; they only count as the bonus for the strike.
