HOW TO BOWL
The bowler starts about 12 feet from the foul line. The line separates end of lane from the lane itself. The bowler must roll the ball without crossing the foul line.
In the game of bowling a bowler bowls 10 frames 2 on each frame, unless you get a strike. A strike is all the pin are hit down in one turn on the score sheet it should put a ( X ) in the small square in the corner of the larger square on the score sheet. A spare counts as 10 points, a spare is where you hit some pins then in the next roll you hit down the rest of the pins. Then on the score sheet it will show a ( / ). When the bowler does not get a strike or a spare, the pin that he hit down will count for points. If the bowler fails to hits any of the pins in each of the 2 turns the score would say the word ''open'' or ( -- ).
At the last roll if you get a strike or a spare you'd get one more time to roll the ball.
To get a perfect score you must get 12 consecutive strikes a score is 300, to get this you must get a strike each frame, plus two strike for extra.
